[02:08] han on [02:08] er got it [02:08] hang on [02:08] xfce 4.4.1 [02:09] no what vesion of xubuntueee [02:09] 7.1 [02:09] 7.10 [02:11] is it a atom processor [02:11] er I don't think so [02:11] or do you have 900mhz eeepc [02:12] older [02:12] since 7.10 is not supported any more i would recommend easy peasy [02:12] 571mhz or something [02:12] hrm [02:12] dang [02:13] okay anyway to salvage this stuff and integrate it into the new os? [02:13] what stuff r u wanting to keep [02:14] mainly files (txt) files [02:14] I guess I can find a way to compress and send so that's nto a major issue [02:14] i would copy them to a usb flash drive then move them back [02:15] okay [02:15] thanks a lot for your help [02:15] can I ask this not supporting thing [02:15] you are welcome [02:15] does it happen a lot? [02:15] well 7.10 has not been supported in years [02:16] haha [02:16] okay [02:16] because it is up to version 9.10 now [02:16] okay [02:16] thanks again [02:17] u welcome [02:17] enjoy your evening! [03:59] hi I'm having trouble getting my xubuntu to connect with my broadcom wireless card [05:54] Is there something compatable with "Microsoft Remote Assistance" ? [06:00] can anyone point me to a good tutorial for installing lighttpd? I'm trying to setup a webui for rtorrent [06:18] if i want to allow users to mount remote samba shares, how would i do that? only root can use mount, and when i try to do it from most user accounts i get "this user is not in the sudoers file" error [06:20] i dont want to have to manually add each user to the sudoers file [06:21] you shouldn't give sudo-rights to everybody [06:26] well i dont want to [06:26] i want to give mount capability to everybody [06:26] coz everybody needs to be able to access the NAS [06:26] which serves up CIFS shares... so if theres a better way to give everyone access to it, i'm all ears [06:27] MrNaz listen up :P [06:31] Sysi do you have any suggestions ? [06:31] i don't have any experience with samba [06:42] MrNaz, i think i know [06:43] its not samba related... all i need to do is give non-admin users the ability to use mount [06:44] pdg1 ? [06:44] why? i think all you want to do is bind a samba share to a specific folder [06:45] because you can do that without giving users sudo rights... [06:46] how ? [06:47] I can't quite remember exactly because i haven't had to do it [06:47] I will shortly because i just ordered a 1TB drive for a comp i'm turning into a NAS [06:47] I do know that the process is called binding [06:47] and you want to bind a samba share to a mount point [06:48] so you can have something like /media/NAS/(whatever folders you have) [06:49] look at the man page for mount and fstab [06:49] I apologize for not having more help, but I have to get out of here before my friend kicks my ass [06:50] rock on MrNaz_yma [06:54] aah [06:54] i'll google with bind instead of mount as a search term [06:54] that's good enough... thanks mate :) [10:21] anybody knows how to configure notify-osd? [10:21] in particular, how do I move it to the bottom right corner [11:15] Any suggestions for a gud bittorrent prog other than the default? [11:18] BeepBeep: you can try, deluge or ktorrent or something [11:19] i like default, transmission [11:23] thanks === highvolt1ge is now known as highvoltage === gnomefreak is now known as thunderstrck === thunderstrck is now known as gnomefreak === gnomefreak is now known as gnomefreak76 === gnomefreak76 is now known as gnomefreak === gnomefreak is now known as gnomefreak76 === gnomefreak76 is now known as gnomefreak [14:37] Good morrow, all. [14:38] * charlie-tca waves [15:08] Hello. How do I become a programmer? [15:10] jointman: [15:10] pick a language and start studying it [15:10] I do not understand Ov3rf10w. [15:10] yes [15:11] and get some ebooks for this language [15:11] ok, sounds good to me [15:11] :) [15:11] Typically C++ or phyton [15:12] python is easier for start [15:12] but with Gambas 2 you can use a Virtual Basic-like languagt ;) [15:12] Basic is a easy programming language [15:13] php is useful and shouldn't be very hard [15:13] you can learn assembly [15:13] it's low level language [15:13] low level doesn't mean it's easy :P [15:14] knome: asm is not hard to learn [15:14] for me [15:14] .. [15:14] since we're in the subject of languages, are alice and python good for beginners? [15:14] yea, php is fun and relevant if you want to make functional and useful websites [15:14] jointman, python would be okay. it's very popular [15:15] python it is, thanks for the input guys :X [15:17] :) [15:25] anybody happen to know where the new great ubuntu invention, notify-oss, reads its configuration from? [15:25] the project is almost completely undocumented [15:25] TheSheep, SiDi might know. === genii_ is now known as genii [15:42] I have a little problem (all work fine for some months): When I login via gdm X server reboots, it takes 2-3 times to login without rebooting. I use Xubuntu 9.10, nVidia 7600 card with proprietary driver. Here is my Xorg.log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/356619/ [18:24] i'd get minimal xubuntu if i revove entire xubuntu-desktop and then install X, gdm and xfce, right? [18:24] *remove [18:25] Worth a shot. [19:07] Ever looked into CrunchBang, Sysi? If you're wanting a more minimal Ubuntu, that's the way to go. :D [19:23] well, i have over 1GB of memory, but i still want lighter [19:31] Sysi, you don't even need gdm :P [19:35] hmm, i could get kdm and try xdmcp [19:36] it's propably mostly useless, this intel works so badly :/ [19:36] started freezing after i tried copositing [19:37] who uses compisiting anyway? [19:38] * TheSheep rises a hand [19:38] o/ [19:38] * knome tickles TheSheep from the armpit [19:39] i don't use compositing. [19:39] * TheSheep bites knome's head off [19:39] TheSheep, you can't. my nose is too big. [19:39] knome: right, you don't use it, so lets remove it from xubuntu ;) [19:39] i use xfce because of easy eyecandy, at least partly [19:39] TheSheep, i didn't mean that :P [19:40] the point was that if you have a low-end pc, why would it matter if you didn't get compositing? [19:40] right now I just want to track down and hurt the author of notify-osd [19:40] it's not really bringing in any more usability [19:40] i thought that TheSheep said that your head is useless.. [19:40] Sysi, lol [19:40] Sysi: I'm sure it has many uses [19:40] this isn't actyallu low end [19:40] Sysi: as balast, for example [19:40] Sysi: or an anchor [19:40] Sysi, well, i was not only talking about your pc [19:40] yeah [19:41] you could also put a funny hat on it [19:42] np: Kraftwerk / Radioactivity [19:42] np: Britney Spears - Crazy [19:42] EWW [19:43] sometimes fun to listen [19:49] * Pres-Gas scrolls up to see what is up with compositing and the biting off of heads [19:50] knome: try to understand, i have fever [19:52] Any artist that needs to use Auto-Tune to excess is not worth listening to [19:52] only finish people understand the horror when i say that i also have gimmel on my hd [19:53] *finnish [19:53] Sysi, :) [19:54] TheSheep, did you see this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NotifyOSD [19:57] Pres-Gas: yes, any and all google searches point to taht useless page [19:58] TheSheep, I gave it me best shot. [19:58] Pres-Gas: I don't care about how canonical wants the notifications to look, I want to know how I can modify that [19:58] Pres-Gas: thanks, sorry [19:58] hopefully i got rid of that with minimal install [20:02] TheSheep: I have tried that with notify-osd; the only one that admits to anything to do with it is mpt, as a good design thing [20:02] but, ... he is not the developer, just the designer [20:03] TheSheep, SiDi knows that. he's fiddled around with it. [20:05] you can NOT modify the notices very easily [20:05] no, not without building from source again [20:05] or with steve's patch [20:09] charlie-tca: I'd be happy to just modify the corner in which it appears [20:10] the ubuntu default is silly [20:10] and distracting [20:10] That got built in by design [20:11] no, I did it on one of my computers [20:11] I got into a lot of discussions about it all, still can't change colors for those who need to (Accessibility) [20:11] Ewwwww, notify-osd uses gconf schemas? [20:11] TheSheep, charlie-tca: i'm making steve write a tutorial for it, if possibly, tonight [20:11] it appears in the bottom right corner now [20:12] Will that let me change colors, knome [20:12] ? [20:12] charlie-tca, well yes, by changing the source. [20:12] TheSheep, you are wanting to change position of notify-osd? [20:12] I see. Of course, I don't do source myself [20:13] charlie-tca, it's not end-user tutorial, since steve plans on reviewing his patch on february and package more easily configurable version in PPA [20:13] charlie-tca, you're gonna cope with it. :) you don't have to know how to code. [20:14] been coping with it since they stupid designed it [20:14] lol [20:14] i can find out how to use ppa's and package you one with better colors, if i have time [20:15] Pres-Gas: yes [20:15] https://answers.edge.launchpad.net/notify-osd/+question/80515 [20:16] TheSheep, look at tuwe's post in 2009-10-12 [20:16] s/in/on [20:16] I don't have such gconf key [20:17] I looked in gconf, it was the second thing I did [20:17] It should be in Ubuntu, not Xubuntu [20:18] So, if you do the command it complains? [20:18] ...w/o a schema? [20:18] I think ignores... [20:20] ahhh...so just give you the prompt again....but didn't really do the job [20:20] Is there any way to recover the hard drive after ext4 screws it up ? [20:23] charlie-tca: what do you mean? [20:23] charlie-tca: you want to convert to ext3? [20:23] I now have 3 hard drives killed by it; it did something wrong, and now the hard drive is full of sector can't be read errors [20:23] Makes the drive useless [20:23] ssd? [20:24] hard disk drive [20:24] pata [21:01] TheSheep, charlie-tca, Pres-Gas: http://mupuf.org/blog/article/22/ [21:07] knome: thanks [21:09] knome: brilliant! it only has EAST and NORTH_EAST gravity [21:10] * TheSheep whines some more [21:11] me too. I don't understand the coding [21:12] hex rgb values? [21:13] charlie-tca: gimp gives you these in its color picker [21:17] knome, awesome....satisfied my curiosity [21:18] Whoops...reboot time === ubottu is now known as ubott2 [21:31] bad ubottu :<
