phillwSilver_Fox_: it is nice that C-Ray is not a Win user, trying to explain to them that they have a choice ;-)00:01
C-RayI was searching for a good burning program under GNU that functions like K3B... but the only choice i found is: GNOMEBAKER00:02
C-Raywhat do you think?00:02
phillwBrassero seems okay, does what I ask of it00:03
Silver_Fox_I have never had issue with Brasero00:03
Silver_Fox_Plus it comes by default00:03
C-RayBrasero, yeah that's right! it comes by default00:03
phillw<< loves a programme by default that works :-D00:03
C-Rayx200:03
pedro3005Yeah I've had issues with Brasero00:04
Silver_Fox_I think that is the idea of defaults:  reliability00:04
pedro3005Brasero won't burn a PS2 DVD game right00:04
phillwthat's because it doesn't like you ;-)00:04
C-Raydon't know00:04
phillwpedro3005: if ibuclaw finds out you've been trying to rip games via ubuntu he will not be happy00:05
ibuclaw>:(00:05
pedro3005oh crap00:05
C-Rayriping games?00:06
C-Raywhy?00:06
C-Raywindows games?00:06
C-Rayi hate games!00:06
C-Rayi like chess though00:06
Silver_Fox_Is this piracy ?00:06
C-Rayit depends00:06
C-Rayit depends on what are you doing00:07
Silver_Fox_What are you seeking to do ?00:07
C-Rayme?00:07
Silver_Fox_Yes00:07
pedro3005I just mentioned it doesn't burn a PS2 dvd right00:07
C-Rayyes00:07
Silver_Fox_Hmm00:07
C-Rayi use k3b00:07
phillwC-Ray: I'll let ibuclaw say it correctly, but Ubuntu does not support, nor want, people to copy paid for software00:07
pedro3005C-Ray, I've heard k3b works00:07
C-Raytrue00:08
C-Rayit is illigal00:08
pedro3005you guys are so square00:08
pedro3005:P00:08
C-Raysquare?00:08
pedro3005C-Ray, yes, square!00:08
C-Rayit sounds cool!00:09
phillw@ pedro3005, yeah, and so far not arrested, or being sued - I'd like to keep it that way00:09
Silver_Fox_pedro3005,  Tread very carefully.00:09
C-Rayi like squares00:09
pedro3005square: (n; adj) A person who is regarded as dull, rigidly conventional, and out of touch with current trends.00:09
C-Rayhehe00:09
C-Raystill not that bad00:10
C-Rayold-fashioned00:10
C-RayMay i ask one more question?00:11
C-Raylast one00:11
pedro3005C-Ray, how many you wish00:11
C-Rayone more i wish00:12
phillw@ pedro3005   http://www.yourdictionary.com/jailbird00:12
pedro3005C-Ray, I was telling you to ask how many questions you wish to00:12
C-Rayi want a way to spot all C++ (open source) programs that exists under linux. something like a list more or less. not necessary a complete list just some names maybe00:14
phillw@ C-Ray we only charge 1,000 USD / question ... Whoops, did you not read the terms and conditions ? :-D00:14
C-Rayyeah i read them00:14
C-Rayhehe00:14
pedro3005but it's 1,000 USD each! so one for me, one for phillw , one for bodhi_zazen and you can skip ibuclaw00:14
C-Ray1000 USD? do you accept Euros?00:15
pedro3005C-Ray, well, we'll make this exception for you.00:15
phillwC-Ray: there are many programmes available under C++ and free licence00:15
ibuclawpedro3005, that's enough monkeying round.00:16
C-Rayhow can i track them in a short list or something... is there a way00:16
C-Rayjust major names maybe00:16
phillwC-Ray: what sort of programmes are you interested in ?00:16
ibuclawC-Ray, there is no list really... you can lookup on various hosting sites for a filter search though...00:16
C-Rayam interested in GUI applications00:17
Silver_Fox_C-Ray,  Not all open source only but interesting reading non the less:  http://www2.research.att.com/~bs/applications.html00:17
phillwC-Ray: do you just want prgrammmes, or learn how to write them etc ?00:17
C-Rayam a C++ programmer00:17
C-Rayjust to learn something00:18
ibuclawC-Ray, ie: http://sourceforge.net/search00:18
C-Raythat's good00:18
ibuclawscroll down a bit, and there is a "Programming Language": "C++" option00:18
C-Rayok just a moment00:18
C-Raythat's really cool00:19
C-Raythanks00:19
ibuclawthat should give you 33391 projects00:19
C-Raymore or less :D00:19
phillwC-Ray: a site for programmers, ran by programmers ... http://forum.codecall.net/00:19
ibuclawphillw, I prefer codeproject.com myself00:19
C-Rayright now am studying some Wxwidgets but still it takes some time for me to be able to understand all the code of GUI00:20
C-Rayi mean in a comprehensive way...00:20
phillwibuclaw: I am not doubting your recommendation :-(  I was merely putting forward a site that I have known for some time00:21
C-Raycodeproject.com sounds great also00:21
C-Raythanks a lot00:21
C-Rayi was stacking in codeblocks forums only00:22
C-Rayam slightly an offline person just with my compiler and debugger... introverted00:22
C-Rayhttp://www.codeblocks.org/ is the best free C++ IDE built00:24
C-Rayopen source + cross platform00:24
C-Raythat's everything i know to share with you guys00:24
C-Raythanks so much for everything today00:25
ibuclawC-Ray, real programmers use vim00:25
C-Raywhat's wrong with codeblocks?00:25
ibuclawC-Ray, each to his own.00:26
Phreageek code uses code block ;)00:26
Silver_Fox_Au revoir00:26
C-Rayi don't know about vim... but codeblocks is great!00:27
C-Rayi love codeblocks00:27
C-Rayhehe00:27
C-Rayi have using it for...00:27

dubziIs there a way to force-quit a fullscreen app? I'm having some troubles with a game that keeps on crashing, and end up having to reset my pc everytime10:58
dubziso while trying to fix the problem, some kind of ctrl+alt+delete would be useful10:58
leoquantdubzi there a force quit applet10:59
Akosdubzi: can't you get out of it with ALT+TAB?10:59
dubzinope, i've tried alt-tab10:59
dubzileoquant, you mean the button you can place in a panel?10:59
leoquantyep10:59
leoquantit works afaik killall etc.11:00
dubzii have that one, but this game is fullscreen so i see no panel ;)11:00
dubzioh but that gives me some idea: running the game in a window until the problem is fixed ;)11:00
leoquantthan force a terminal: killall world of warecraft (example)11:01
dubziyeah ok, how to i open a terminal then, when my fullscreen app is hanging?11:01
leoquantalt f2 i guess11:01
dubziah ok11:01
leoquantalt tab f211:02
leoquantno sure11:02
dubziok i'll try those two out, thanks! for now i'll just run the game in a window until i've got it solved11:02

SonmGood day folks... Need a help. Am new to Ubuntu (9.10 KK). Does anybody know how to automatically start the drivers for my PC card (DAC card) on the boot? Normally I start it by going to /home/user/lcard (where it is all located) and run some script called "start". Everything is done vie the terminal as a super user... sudo ./start... Thnks11:15
Sonmvia*11:15
Silver_Fox_Hello Sonm11:16
SonmHi silver Fox11:17
Silver_Fox_1)  create a file under init.d : sudo gedit /etc/init.d/my_script11:17
Silver_Fox_2)  put your command lines/script in the file & save it11:17
Silver_Fox_3)  make the file executable : sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/my_script11:17
Silver_Fox_4)  make it run on boot : sudo update-rc.d my_script defaults11:17
Silver_Fox_Done11:18
SonmThanks a lot... well actually i did that, but it looks like I've missed the step num 3... damn... anyway I removed it from the init.d by sudo update-rc.d -f start remove... will try what you say... THANKS A LOT!11:19
Silver_Fox_No worries,11:19
SonmThankies Silver Fox! Everything tick-tacks:))) Just had to change some lines in the initial script! Brilliant!12:16

Silver_Fox_intelinside2020,  Which version of windows are you using ?14:10
intelinside2020XP14:11
Silver_Fox_I would use VNC:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC14:11
ZachK_I concur14:11
intelinside2020wat is this14:12
Silver_Fox_VNC is a protocol that allows a desktop to be viewed and controlled remotely over the Internet.14:12

C-RayHello!16:24
Silver_Fox_o//16:24
C-RayHow are you today?16:24
Silver_Fox_I am fine.  How are you ?16:24
C-Rayam good just am facing a problem while deleting some files from my usb... it is reporting an error while trying to empty the recyclebin16:25
Silver_Fox_What is the exact error message?16:26
C-RayError while deleting - Failed to delete the item from the trash16:26
C-Rayi tried to discoonect it and restart but no use16:27
C-RayI am the only user and administrator here at this pc16:27
C-Rayno other users exists16:27
C-RayI am using ubuntu 9.1016:28
C-Rayand Debian 5.016:28
C-Rayso my usb is only connected to those two16:28
C-Rayplease do you have any solutions?16:28
C-RayI remember there was a command that forces the recycle bin's files to be deleted but am not able to remember anything :(16:30
Silver_Fox_C-Ray,  open a terminal16:34
C-Rayrm -rf ~/.Trash/*16:34
Silver_Fox_run gksu nautilus16:34
C-Rayis not working either16:34
C-Rayok i will16:34
Silver_Fox_Then, navigate to your home directory, and of course press Ctrl+h, and navigate to /.local/share/Trash16:34
Silver_Fox_Then ls.  Copy output and paste to here: www.pastebin.com16:35
Silver_Fox_Then paste the URL here16:35
Silver_Fox_:)16:35
Silver_Fox_Hang on....16:36
elfyC-Ray: do you see the files in nautilus?16:39
C-Raysudo rm -fr /home/USERNAME/.local/share/Trash/ is also of no use... it is doing nothing since the files that needs to be deleted are from the usb, so the system contains no files to be deleted16:39
C-Rayno files up there16:40
elfythen go to the usb in nautils16:40
C-Rayok16:40
elfyand see if the files are actually in the trash of the usb - they will be hidden16:40
C-Rayyeah they are there16:41
elfyk - so try and delete in the root nautilus16:41
C-Rayhow?16:42
elfyright click - delete16:42
C-Rayit is not working16:42
elfywhat does it say then16:42
C-Rayreporting: Error while deleting - Failed to delete the item from the trash16:42
C-RayError stating file '/media/ROLAND_BBU/.Trash-1000/files/Web Resources/Online Linux Resources/Ubuntu Linux Resources/Dictionaries_dictd-www.dict.org.php_files/1.config.ure': Input/output error16:43
elfyk go up a level and try deleting the trash itself from the USB16:43
C-Rayok i will try16:43
elfyinput/output error sounds ominous16:43
C-Raythe .trash-1000?16:44
C-Rayor just the files folder16:44
elfyyea - normally you'd get a this can;t be put in trash permanently delete or not dialogue16:44
elfythe whole .trash-1000 - it gets remade as and when16:45
C-Rayi shall delete it from the terminal or just right click?16:45
C-Rayboth ways are not working16:48
C-Raystill the same message: error while deleting16:49
C-Rayand delete is disabled16:49
elfymmm - no idea then perhaps there is an issue with the usb16:49
C-Raymaybe... it needs format?16:49
elfyif you can format it then all will be gone - is there anything on there you need?16:50
C-Raythere is an ubuntu OS installed inside it, is this have anything to do with my problem16:50
elfyI doubt it - but possibly16:50
C-Raybecause i used to boot from it at work16:51
C-Rayunder windows platform16:51
C-Rayso maybe the trash got messed up16:51
C-Rayor i don't know16:51
elfyis the trash outside the os16:51
C-Rayhow to check this?16:52
elfyor is it the trash in the os you are trying to empty16:52
C-Rayit is at the first level16:52
C-Raytrash 100016:52
elfyk - then it is outside the OS then I would think16:52
C-Raybut the ubuntu os files are also at the first level16:53
elfywhy don;t you do an ls at the root of the usb and pastebin it16:53
C-Rayok16:53
C-Rayi will16:53
C-Raybtw, thanks for yr help16:53
elfywelcome16:53
C-Rayhttp://pastebin.com/9eGAPHiA16:58
C-Raywhat do you think?16:59
C-Raydo you want a more detailed view?17:01
elfynope17:01
elfyand this does not work ? sudo rm -rf  /.Trash-100017:02
C-Rayi will try it again17:02
C-Rayit is doing nothing... it is reporting anything either17:03

C-Rayyes17:04

C-Raywhat about booting from a live cd or something and try again17:06
C-Raywhat do you think?17:06
elfyhave you tried to unmount and remount17:06
C-Rayyes several times with restart17:07

C-Rayubuntu 9.1017:07
C-Rayand debian 5 but not right now17:07
