| PDG1 | I'm without internet right now so searching forums is hard. anyone know if you can combine keyboard and mouse button presses for shortcuts? | 00:10 |
|---|---|---|
| PDG1 | on the ol android phone :p | 00:10 |
| charlie-tca | SHould be able to; there are some already such as right-shift + left-mouse button to move a window | 00:16 |
| PDG1 | okay. my mouse also has forward and back buttons. how would I map those. | 00:18 |
| charlie-tca | I don't know | 00:19 |
| PDG1 | its flipping hard to type as fast as a real keyboard with this virtual keyboard. so sorry if I'm slow to respond | 00:19 |
| charlie-tca | Mine mapped themselves in apps that will use them | 00:19 |
| PDG1 | shoot. maybe ill just have to wait till I get internet again | 00:20 |
| charlie-tca | I think they are mapped in /etc/xorg.conf, so it will take some research to find it | 00:20 |
| PDG1 | so can you change what your mouse shortcuts do? | 00:22 |
| PDG1 | where do You see those? | 00:24 |
| PDG1 | oh... xorg | 00:25 |
| charlie-tca | Yeah, I think mouse buttons are done through xorg.conf. You probably have to create one, though | 00:25 |
| PDG1 | so its something like editing a file not changing a setting in A GUI | 00:25 |
| charlie-tca | AFAIK | 00:26 |
| PDG1 | well ill look in xorg.conf | 00:26 |
| PDG1 | awe Poo... there's nothing in there :( | 00:28 |
| charlie-tca | thus the "it'll take some research to find it" ... | 00:29 |
| PDG1 | and I have no idea what to put in there | 00:29 |
| PDG1 | yeah... and using my phone isn't exactly convenient. looks like I'll have to wait | 00:30 |
| charlie-tca | !info xorg.conf | 00:30 |
| ubottu | Package xorg.conf does not exist in karmic | 00:30 |
| PDG1 | but as far as you know this is possible? | 00:30 |
| charlie-tca | yes | 00:30 |
| charlie-tca | I checked when I bought the Logitech Track Ball | 00:30 |
| charlie-tca | got like 7 buttons | 00:31 |
| PDG1 | I guess anything is possible with enough patients and determination | 00:31 |
| charlie-tca | !xorg | 00:32 |
| 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 | 00:32 |
| charlie-tca | nope | 00:32 |
| PDG1 | so what kind of shortcuts do You have setup? | 00:33 |
| charlie-tca | This should help: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WacomTroubleshooting | 00:33 |
| charlie-tca | It gives some samples of xorg.conf | 00:33 |
| charlie-tca | I have forward and back, and scroll forward and back on buttons | 00:34 |
| PDG1 | I'm specifically looking to do something like super forward to do next song in exaIle | 00:34 |
| charlie-tca | All you need is to hit the ffw button in exaile with the left mouse button, it jumps to the next song | 00:35 |
| PDG1 | lol | 00:36 |
| jst | Could someone tell me what the default music player is? | 00:36 |
| PDG1 | but I don't want the window open | 00:36 |
| charlie-tca | exaile | 00:36 |
| charlie-tca | jst: exaile | 00:36 |
| jst | Thanks. | 00:37 |
| charlie-tca | You are welcome | 00:37 |
| charlie-tca | sure, make it complicated | 00:37 |
| PDG1 | what's listen for? is it just another option? | 00:37 |
| PDG1 | lol | 00:37 |
| charlie-tca | yes, it is another music player. We used it as default in 9.04 | 00:37 |
| PDG1 | it doesn't work too well for me so I just use exaile | 00:38 |
| charlie-tca | right, that was one of the reasons we switched to exaile in 9.10 | 00:38 |
| PDG1 | beauty :p | 00:40 |
| jst | Also, is ALSA still used in Xubuntu 9.10? "alsaconfig" is not installed. | 00:40 |
| PDG1 | I think so... | 00:40 |
| march | n8 | 00:40 |
| PDG1 | the other option is oos isn't it? | 00:41 |
| jst | Whoops, i meant "alsamixer." | 00:41 |
| charlie-tca | Alsa-player and alsa-utils are used | 00:42 |
| charlie-tca | but we are using Xfce4-mixer | 00:42 |
| charlie-tca | PDG1: oos? | 00:42 |
| PDG1 | I can't remember what its called | 00:43 |
| charlie-tca | i see | 00:43 |
| PDG1 | its an option other than alsa | 00:44 |
| PDG1 | But I think most systems use alsa | 00:44 |
| charlie-tca | oss, I believe. That is quite old and not as good | 00:45 |
| PDG1 | yeah. so I've heard | 00:48 |
| PDG1 | no idea why someone would use it | 00:49 |
| charlie-tca | because it works | 00:50 |
| PDG1 | but so does alsa on most machines. would oss work better on some older hardware do You think? | 00:51 |
| charlie-tca | alsa works now, but oss is great for a fallback. Some of the old hardware won't use alsa | 00:52 |
| PDG1 | didn't know that. I thought alsa worked on pretty much anything | 00:53 |
| charlie-tca | Well, old = isa | 00:53 |
| charlie-tca | My systems may not be quite new anymore | 00:53 |
| PDG1 | I see | 00:54 |
| charlie-tca | They only issue I ran into is an old ISA network card that won't work | 00:54 |
| knome | charlie-tca, did they EVER work? | 00:55 |
| * knome hides | 00:55 | |
| charlie-tca | of course | 00:56 |
| PDG1 | yeah, that's why I like Xubuntu. works well on most of my cheap as free computers that are usually pretty old | 00:56 |
| charlie-tca | somebody gave me a new system, and most of the components appear to be bad | 00:56 |
| charlie-tca | new = amd 32 bit 1000MHz cpu, 384MB ram, ... | 00:57 |
| charlie-tca | cost me ram, hard drives, and cd drive so far | 00:57 |
| PDG1 | I was looking for a buntu to run on my old Craptop I just got 'for free' but view all seen to run too many resources | 00:57 |
| knome | charlie-tca, hey! that has barely more ram than my GC | 00:58 |
| knome | :] | 00:58 |
| charlie-tca | increased ram to 512 | 00:58 |
| knome | ooooooooh :o | 00:58 |
| PDG1 | zoom | 00:58 |
| charlie-tca | but all these bad parts... Why would you give away a broken system? | 00:58 |
| Pres-Gas | Gaaaaaa!!! Jury Duty!!!! | 00:58 |
| Pres-Gas | This is not the time for that! | 00:59 |
| charlie-tca | Pres-Gas: ha! have fun with that. Last time I got called they said no when I tried to explain that if they didn't do it, why were they going to trial? | 00:59 |
| Pres-Gas | heh, nice | 01:00 |
| charlie-tca | That seemed to be considered a bad thing to think | 01:00 |
| Pres-Gas | Maybe it is just bad to think. | 01:01 |
| knome | ...think? what's that? | 01:01 |
| PDG1 | any idea if there's a buntu that will run well with 128 RAM? | 01:01 |
| knome | is it edible? | 01:01 |
| Pres-Gas | I am interested, and yet...wanting to actually work. | 01:01 |
| charlie-tca | PDG1: server only | 01:01 |
| knome | charlie-tca, or the minimal with CLI ;) | 01:01 |
| knome | might actually run better... | 01:02 |
| charlie-tca | well, yeah. either way there is no GUI | 01:02 |
| PDG1 | right now I've got puppy... but I grow tired of the system | 01:02 |
| charlie-tca | hmmm, can a bad zip drive take out the cd drive? | 01:02 |
| Pres-Gas | Minimal... | 01:02 |
| Pres-Gas | Server still installs more software | 01:02 |
| knome | anything is possible... | 01:02 |
| knome | Pres-Gas, i'd be surprised if it didn't ;) | 01:03 |
| Pres-Gas | charlie-tca, is it in the same ata chain? | 01:03 |
| charlie-tca | yes | 01:03 |
| Pres-Gas | lol, knome | 01:03 |
| PDG1 | well... is there like... something with openbox maybe... | 01:03 |
| charlie-tca | cd primary, zip secondary on the same controller | 01:03 |
| PDG1 | anyways... extended away = me | 01:03 |
| knome | PDG1, minimal + install openbox packages :P | 01:04 |
| Pres-Gas | charlie-tca, I have seen that happen...one device in the chain blowing the whole thing | 01:04 |
| knome | Pres-Gas, can't promise it runs well with openbox installed though. | 01:04 |
| Pres-Gas | I would unplug the zip from both power and ata cable and see if the CD recovers, charlie-tca | 01:04 |
| charlie-tca | I seen it blow out the floppy, and the floppy take out the zip. I just didn't realize it would take out the cd drive | 01:04 |
| charlie-tca | yeah, I already tried that | 01:04 |
| Pres-Gas | Did the CD recover? | 01:05 |
| charlie-tca | noo | 01:05 |
| knome | fail :) | 01:05 |
| Pres-Gas | epic fail | 01:05 |
| charlie-tca | same results both ways. Put a different cd drive in without the zip drive connected, it works | 01:05 |
| Pres-Gas | Power surge? | 01:06 |
| charlie-tca | killed it, huh? | 01:06 |
| Pres-Gas | Prolly | 01:06 |
| charlie-tca | no power surge that I know of | 01:06 |
| Pres-Gas | hmmm, charlie-tca | 01:06 |
| charlie-tca | Might be just a bad cd drive, but I can't take a chance on killing another one yet | 01:07 |
| Pres-Gas | I have seen stranger things....then again I have seen those CRT iMacs blackened on the inside from smoking run like a champ. | 01:07 |
| knome | charlie-tca, i can send a few replacement drives in the mail | 01:07 |
| * Pres-Gas vomits thinking about that | 01:07 | |
| charlie-tca | you got that many? | 01:07 |
| knome | charlie-tca, yeah. going to throw lots of old stuff away. | 01:08 |
| knome | well, not throw away but give away | 01:08 |
| charlie-tca | Costs a lot to send in the mail. I'll probably go pick a couple again | 01:08 |
| knome | i used to like to play with them but i don't seem to have that enthusiasm or the time anymore | 01:09 |
| knome | you have to let go | 01:09 |
| charlie-tca | I know, but I am trying to build a media center pc | 01:09 |
| charlie-tca | and I want lots of storage options | 01:09 |
| knome | didn't mean you. you still seem to have fun with those, that's great. i don't, so better give the stuff away | 01:10 |
| Pres-Gas | Time to go...have fun gentlepeeps | 01:10 |
| charlie-tca | I don't do anymore that needed now, myself | 01:10 |
| knome | get more storage space as well, but different type ;) | 01:10 |
| charlie-tca | Yeah, probably pick up a dvd-rw for this machine too | 01:10 |
| knome | well, i'd have at least one of those. | 01:11 |
| charlie-tca | got one yesterday for US $40.00 | 01:11 |
| knome | too bad you're so far away | 01:11 |
| charlie-tca | I got three now | 01:11 |
| knome | those cost about 22 euros here | 01:11 |
| charlie-tca | I just been replacing the cd drives with them | 01:11 |
| knome | == 31.5$ | 01:11 |
| charlie-tca | not bad | 01:11 |
| knome | yeah | 01:11 |
| knome | rather just buy a new one if one breaks up | 01:12 |
| charlie-tca | Yeah, but at one point I had about 12 sitting on the shelf | 01:12 |
| charlie-tca | Now I got one | 01:12 |
| knome | heh | 01:12 |
| knome | i've been giving or throwing stuff away for the last year | 01:13 |
| knome | i still want to get rid of more. | 01:13 |
| knome | i really don't need all that. | 01:13 |
| charlie-tca | I done some of that myself. I am down to two spare motherboards, finally | 01:14 |
| knome | hah | 01:14 |
| knome | i'm talking about everything else as well | 01:14 |
| knome | like non-computer stuff | 01:14 |
| knome | like... books | 01:14 |
| knome | clothes | 01:14 |
| knome | wife's | 01:14 |
| knome | oh wait | 01:14 |
| charlie-tca | I never give books away. I got reference books going back to the 1950's | 01:15 |
| knome | i don't have a spare one | 01:15 |
| charlie-tca | heh | 01:15 |
| knome | no wife's given away ;) | 01:15 |
| knome | you want a cobol-85 book? | 01:15 |
| charlie-tca | got one | 01:15 |
| knome | though i think i dumped it on the grabage bin already :P | 01:15 |
| charlie-tca | good thing I didn't want it, then, | 01:15 |
| knome | hehe yeah | 01:16 |
| knome | would have had to track it down | 01:16 |
| knome | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4BYMvVvMg0 <- that's quite cool | 01:25 |
| charlie-tca | I don't remember seeing a two-man guitar before | 01:27 |
| knome | me neither | 01:27 |
| charlie-tca | That's pretty good :-) | 01:28 |
| knome | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdt4i3oyDJA ;) | 01:28 |
| knome | even more weird | 01:28 |
| knome | watch until ~1:10 when the second player starts also taking notes from below the neck | 01:30 |
| charlie-tca | Okay, enough of that. It makes the head hurt watching it | 01:34 |
| knome | hah | 01:34 |
| knome | what about one man and two guitars? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFqTd-CEjHM | 01:34 |
| charlie-tca | Nah, my grandfather used to do that. Also, guitar, harmonica, and banjo together | 01:34 |
| charlie-tca | new cd drive works; got a good install | 01:36 |
| knome | good :) | 01:36 |
| charlie-tca | yeah, it helps to be able to run two or three at a time on hardware | 01:36 |
| knome | i think i'm heading to bed now | 01:43 |
| knome | see you later and have a nice day/evening | 01:43 |
| charlie-tca | goodnight, knome | 01:56 |

| foxxspirits | hi all. anyone available to help out a newbie real quick? | 05:32 |
| cody-somerville | foxxspirits, whats the question? | 05:35 |
| foxxspirits | having an issue with my sound. Although pulseaudio is showing that I should be getting some sound, nothing is coming from the speakers. I have tried going into the alsa mixer and changing the volume there to no effect, installed the libraries, and removed and reinstalled pulseaudio all to no effect. I had sound about 3 days ago, but when I turned off the computer and started it the next day, the sound was gone again :P | 05:38 |
| cody-somerville | Can you check that the volume isn't muted? (its a bug that it gets muted on reboot) | 05:39 |
| foxxspirits | yea. I noticed that, but it doesn't seem to make a difference one way or the other | 05:40 |
| foxxspirits | I also tried removing pulseaudio and installing esound, but again to no avail :P | 05:42 |
| cody-somerville | Tricky since who knows what sort of state your system is with audio related packages | 05:43 |
| foxxspirits | yea. its a rather old laptop from HP too... gotten everything else to work just fine. can't seem to get the sound working to save my life tho. | 05:47 |
| Cubey | hello | 06:02 |
| Cubey | Does anyone know of a fix for this? When I hit mute on the keyboard, it mutes... by putting the volume all the way down. When I hit mute again, it does nothing to unmute. I have to then hit volume up to restore it to the level it used to be | 06:03 |
| Cubey | ah ha, i think I got it.. | 06:10 |
| Cubey | ok, well it's half working | 06:11 |
| Cubey | now I have mute working and down, but not up.. | 06:12 |
| Cubey | looks like i fixed it with a script online, and with some modding to it :) | 06:18 |

| Tutattis | hi . when i create a user besides root, does this user take space in my hdd? | 09:42 |
| _Pete_ | Tutattis: yes it does | 09:54 |
| Tutattis | _Pete_, about how much? | 09:54 |
| _Pete_ | home directory + some entries in /etc/ files | 09:55 |
| _Pete_ | couple of KBs | 09:55 |
| Tutattis | i installed the system on my 8gb flash | 09:55 |
| Tutattis | as a guide told me | 09:55 |
| Tutattis | but the man at the guide says to delete normal user after the installation to free up some space | 09:56 |
| Tutattis | (ubuntu 8.10 i used) | 09:56 |
| _Pete_ | what guide? | 09:56 |
| Tutattis | http://www.infosecramblings.com/backtrack/backtrack-4-bootable-usb-thumb-drive-with-full-disk-encryption/ | 09:56 |
| _Pete_ | so the guy in guide always runs root account | 10:00 |
| _Pete_ | "Most the time I end up running things as root anyway with Backtrack so why mess around? " | 10:00 |
| _Pete_ | which is still a bad idea | 10:01 |
| Tutattis | maybe because bt4 has some tools | 10:10 |
| Tutattis | that require root | 10:10 |
| Tutattis | and most people using it dont use it for everyday use | 10:11 |
| Tutattis | just for those tools | 10:11 |

| n0-n4m3 | Ov3rf10w, which version do you prefer? | 10:29 |
| Ov3rf10w | 9.04 | 10:29 |
| n0-n4m3 | mmk | 10:29 |
| n0-n4m3 | what is it about 9.10 that makes it sucks? | 10:30 |
| knome | i'm running 9.10 and there's absolutely nothing wrong with it | 10:30 |
| n0-n4m3 | he was probably just being silly :) | 10:30 |
| knome | well jaunty (9.04) was quite a lot better than intrepid (8.10), but karmic (9.10) wasn't *that* much better than jaunty which might lead somebody feeling that karmic would be a bad release | 10:32 |
| n0-n4m3 | ok | 10:32 |
| knome | but it definitely brought improvements | 10:32 |
| knome | ...and if you install karmic, you can once skip one step in upgrading to ludid, 10.04, the lts release | 10:32 |
| n0-n4m3 | whats lts? | 10:33 |
| n0-n4m3 | (sorry i am noob to linux) | 10:34 |
| knome | !lts | n0-n4m3 | 10:34 |
| ubottu | n0-n4m3: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Hardy (Hardy Heron 8.04). The next LTS release is scheduled to be !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) | 10:34 |
| n0-n4m3 | ^_^ | 10:34 |
| n0-n4m3 | can you define support? | 10:35 |
| knome | support means updates in repositories | 10:36 |
| knome | plus paid user support | 10:36 |
| n0-n4m3 | ic | 10:36 |
| knome | community user support will *probably* last longer than that | 10:36 |
| knome | i have to go now | 10:36 |
| n0-n4m3 | ciao | 10:36 |
| knome | but have fun with xubuntu (and with whichever version you decide to choose) | 10:37 |
| n0-n4m3 | so if you were to do a fresh install of a distro that was no longer 'supported' you wouldn't be able to get any updates | 10:37 |

| Timewarper | to get the 1 missing file samdump2 | 16:18 |
| Timewarper | the upgrade failed again,couldnt get samdump2 or it was broken or osmething | 16:19 |
| Timewarper | so i did a apt-get remove samdump2 | 16:19 |
| Timewarper | and an apt-get autoremove | 16:19 |
| Timewarper | which removed all no longer needed packages | 16:20 |
| Timewarper | (the last one removed about 1500mb) | 16:20 |
| Timewarper | how do i fix it now? | 16:20 |
| Timewarper | (btw i did an apt-get clean at some point) | 16:20 |
| likemindead | Uh... why did you remove samdump2? | 16:21 |
| Timewarper | cause the apt-get upgrade said | 16:21 |
| Timewarper | it cant be upgraded | 16:21 |
| Timewarper | or something | 16:21 |
| Timewarper | so i wanted to clean it and reinstall it | 16:22 |
| likemindead | Well, follow my advice above first, then reinstall the package. | 16:22 |
| Timewarper | so i reinstall samdump2 | 16:24 |
| Timewarper | run apt-get upgrade | 16:24 |
| Timewarper | and i am done? | 16:24 |
| Timewarper | all removed packages will come back? | 16:24 |
| Timewarper | does apt-get solve missing dependancies? | 16:25 |
| Timewarper | with apt-get install? | 16:25 |
| likemindead | No... you'd have to install each package individually. But if apt-get autoclean removed them, you don't need them. | 16:25 |
| likemindead | And yes, apt-get solves dependencies. | 16:25 |
| Timewarper | i did an apt-get remove samdump2 | 16:26 |
| Timewarper | and then an autoclean | 16:26 |
| Timewarper | did the autoclean remove all samdump2 | 16:26 |
| Timewarper | dependancies? | 16:26 |
| Timewarper | so if i reinstall it automatically they will come back? | 16:26 |
| likemindead | Yes. Just sudo apt-get install samdump2 (I don't even know what that package is)... | 16:27 |
| Timewarper | btw the autoclean i did afterwards | 16:27 |
| Timewarper | remove 1500mb of packages | 16:27 |
| Timewarper | 3000mb | 16:29 |
| Timewarper | around 560packages | 16:29 |
| Timewarper | how arent those needed? | 16:29 |
| Timewarper | and how do i get them back | 16:29 |

| oorah | is there an xubuntu netbook edition? | 18:53 |
| pingu | How do I make my terminal look like this? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Tar_screenshot.png | 18:53 |
| likemindead | Change the font and colors. | 18:54 |
| TheSheep | pingu: what do you mean? it looks normal | 18:54 |
| likemindead | Use Tilda, FTW. | 18:54 |
| pingu | TheSheep: I have only white text | 18:57 |
| TheSheep | pingu: use some programs that use colors | 18:58 |
| pingu | Which? | 18:58 |
| oorah | is there an xubuntu netbook edition? | 18:59 |
| TheSheep | you can enable color ls for example with 'alias ls=ls --color=auto' | 18:59 |
| TheSheep | you can have a colorful prompt by redefinign the PS1 environment variable | 19:00 |
| TheSheep | for example http://forums.vandyke.com/archive/index.php/t-1366.html | 19:01 |
| knome | oorah, no, just the default ubuntu one. | 19:01 |
| oorah | knome, i wondery why | 19:02 |
| TheSheep | oorah: nobody made it | 19:02 |
| knome | oorah, you can install the netbook remix apps into xubuntu, afaik. | 19:03 |
| knome | oorah, i'm not sure if they work with xfce, though :P | 19:03 |
| knome | oorah, it's not a small job and xubuntu has a small memory footprint anyway | 19:03 |
| pingu | How did the user make everything appear in a different color? Isn't there a theme i can choose similar to sytax hightlighting in text editors? | 19:04 |
| TheSheep | pingu: no, each program is configured separately | 19:05 |
| pingu | But that's the standard terminal? | 19:05 |
| TheSheep | pingu: you can tweak tearminal's colors in the terminal settings, but changing them completely is usually a bad idead | 19:06 |
| TheSheep | pingu: more or less yes, maybe a different font and some changed colors | 19:06 |
| pingu | There is no option for giving special words or symbols special colors TheSheep | 19:07 |
| pingu | I can only change text and bg TheSheep | 19:08 |
| TheSheep | pingu: the colors are displayed by the program that you run | 19:08 |
| TheSheep | pingu: like 'ls' | 19:08 |
| TheSheep | pingu: it's not a feature of the terminal | 19:09 |
| pingu | And why is the user's nick displayed in green general? | 19:09 |
| pingu | And Dollar in blue | 19:09 |
| TheSheep | pingu: because that uses changed his PS1 environment variable to customize his prompt | 19:10 |
| TheSheep | pingu: and added some color codes to it | 19:10 |
| TheSheep | pingu: as it is explained at the link I gave you | 19:10 |
| pingu | TheSheep Is there any terminal which uses theme scripts? | 19:11 |
| TheSheep | I don't think so | 19:11 |
| pingu | Ugh | 19:11 |
| TheSheep | there might be some shells that do | 19:12 |
| pingu | TheSheep i found this: http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Bash/Prompt | 19:15 |
| oorah | how do i add pictures for user login? | 19:39 |
| TheSheep | oorah: you save them in a file called .face in the user's home directory | 19:42 |
| knome | TheSheep, what if i want pictures of... other body parts? | 19:42 |
| knome | do i name them .hand | 19:42 |
| knome | ;) | 19:42 |
| TheSheep | knome: gdm currently only supports faces | 19:42 |
| knome | damn. | 19:43 |
| TheSheep | knome: file a feature request | 19:43 |
| knome | do you think they will support feces in the future? | 19:43 |
| TheSheep | they do everywhere else, so why not | 19:43 |
| knome | yeah | 19:43 |
| knome | ;) | 19:43 |
| Sysi | if facebook don't own the license for faces | 19:43 |
| oorah | TheSheep, what do i do after i make the directory and put pictures there? | 19:43 |
| knome | oorah, /home/user_1/.face == user_1's face | 19:44 |
| TheSheep | oorah: it's not a directory, just name the picture file '.face' | 19:44 |
| knome | oorah, /home/user_2/.face == user_2's face | 19:44 |
| TheSheep | knome: they actually used to use ~/.gnome/photo, but switched to ~/.face because some users wanted to use drawings instead of photos ;) | 19:45 |
| oorah | so all i gotta do is name a picture .face? | 19:45 |
| TheSheep | yes | 19:45 |
| oorah | ok thanks brb | 19:45 |
| knome | TheSheep, right. how important the change was... i hope they fixed a ton of other bugs - i mean, it must have taken forever to settle and agree on a new filename.. | 19:46 |
| TheSheep | do I detect irony? | 19:47 |
| oorah | ok have a picture saved as .face now what? | 19:47 |
| TheSheep | oorah: you are done | 19:47 |
| knome | TheSheep, oh no, not in the slightest amount.. ;) | 19:47 |
| oorah | TheSheep, so i login and its automatically set? | 19:47 |
| TheSheep | oorah: magic :) | 19:48 |
| oorah | that was easy, thanks | 19:48 |
| TheSheep | I actually just googled for it, btw | 19:48 |
| TheSheep | I'm not that smart really | 19:48 |
| oorah | i'm about to try out moblin, hope it works on my msi wind u100 | 19:48 |
| oorah | haha i do that a lot | 19:48 |
| Sysi | i didn't like moblin | 19:49 |
| TheSheep | disconnect me and my iq drops by 400 | 19:49 |
| oorah | should it work on msi wind u100? | 19:49 |
| TheSheep | let me google that ;) | 19:49 |

| oorah | i took an i.q. test and the results came back negative | 19:49 |
| Sysi | on fedora with eee-kernel | 19:49 |

| oorah | with a low i.q., i sure hope so | 19:50 |
| oorah | i start school monday | 19:50 |
| oorah | gonna be a medical assistant | 19:50 |

| knome | oorah, oh i thought the first class :P | 19:50 |
| oorah | my last day at work was yesterday, so gotta get a weekend job cause the G.I. bill pays for school and for living expenses its only 966/month which i can live on but wanna save as much as possible | 19:51 |
| TheSheep | ah, paid school, you have that weirdness in there, poor you | 19:52 |
| oorah | whoever said words for the wise when its the ignorant people that need the advice? | 19:52 |
| oorah | what is daylight savings time? and if we're saving so much of it, who's got it all? | 19:53 |
| TheSheep | I'm afraid we only answer xubuntu-related questions here | 19:53 |

| javatexan | help...if I install the nvidia version 185 in the "hardware drivers", I cannot login to my computer afterwards...the only way back seems to be sudo apt-get purge and then rm the xorg.conf. I am running latest 9.10 Xubuntu with xfce on Dell E6500. Unfortunately I need the nvidia drivers to work with monitors at work | 21:46 |
| javatexan | anyone else seeing similar behavior? I login it looks like it is going to work and the returns to the login screen.... | 21:47 |
| TheSheep | javatexan: try disabling compositing | 21:49 |
| javatexan | TheSheep: the xfce compositing is off | 21:50 |
| TheSheep | anything in logs? | 21:50 |
| javatexan | in the "window manager tweaks" | 21:50 |
| TheSheep | /var/log/Xorg.something and ~/.xsessionerrors | 21:51 |
| javatexan | guess I will have to try it again to get those... ;) | 21:52 |
| TheSheep | dmesg may have something too | 21:53 |
| === lolcat is now known as SquishyD | ||
| javatexan | TheSheep: that was weird. Its working now. I had to delete my xorg.conf and let it create its own at login to work. | 22:36 |
| javatexan | I guess we will see how long it works. ;) | 22:37 |
