| slyrus | I'm new to xubuntu (the installer is spinning away) but, so far, the installer looks very nice and appears to be running well on this box which seems to give various flavors of debian and freebsd fits. | 03:45 |

| Balsaq | Good Morning Xubuntu. | 05:52 |
| el3ment | hey | 06:38 |
| el3ment | :P | 06:38 |
| el3ment | i cant run my weather widget :| everytime when try to ffind any city or location im get err mesage Cant find location | 06:39 |
| el3ment | how can i fix that | 06:39 |
| Balsaq | you MAY need to edit the weatherscreenlet.py file and add "&link=xoap" to the xoap.weather.com URL | 06:50 |
| el3ment | where can find this file to edit it ? | 06:51 |
| Balsaq | http://xoap.weather.com/weather/local/17068?cc=*&dayf=10&prod=xoap&link=xoap&par=1003666583&key=41 28909340a9b2fc&unit=s&hbhf=12 | 06:51 |
| el3ment | i know this is not roght channel but im speakinf for Kde Weather Forecast wiget :) with bbc blabla station | 06:54 |
| knome | el3ment, we pretty much do not know anything about that, so it'd be better to ask the right channel | 06:55 |
| el3ment | no one live there :| | 06:55 |
| knome | you can ask both #kde and #kubuntu | 06:56 |
| knome | or search the ubuntu forums, or google | 06:56 |
| Balsaq | good morning psycho_oreos. | 08:50 |
| psycho_oreos | good evening Balsaq, hows you? | 08:51 |
| Balsaq | i am holding my own. | 08:51 |
| psycho_oreos | err ok, what does that mean lol? | 08:51 |
| Balsaq | i am learning slowly but surely | 08:52 |
| Balsaq | trying to get involved | 08:52 |
| psycho_oreos | learning new things I gather? | 08:52 |
| psycho_oreos | ahh | 08:52 |
| Balsaq | xubuntu | 08:52 |
| psycho_oreos | thought you'd be fairly familiar with it by now considering you have been here for awhile and I think you may have assisted users | 08:53 |
| psycho_oreos | s/think/thought | 08:53 |
| Balsaq | well isee many questions i cannot answer | 08:54 |
| psycho_oreos | ahh ok | 08:54 |
| Balsaq | some...i have no idea what they are even talking about. | 08:54 |
| psycho_oreos | we all had to start from somewhere and slowly but surely we'll get there :) | 08:54 |
| Balsaq | plus o only use computers for the basics.... | 08:55 |
| Balsaq | i am a minimalist i guess | 08:55 |
| Balsaq | like em lean and mean | 08:55 |
| psycho_oreos | I guess for me the only way to learn is to try and move out of my comfort zone, because comfort zones are nice but its like lying on one of those beanie bags | 08:56 |
| Balsaq | yup and i have been doing that...especailly after workin all day. | 08:56 |
| psycho_oreos | xubuntu is somewhat fairly lean I agree to some point though others may say lubuntu (which isn't out yet but there is a desktop package you can get) will probably be just as lean if not leaner | 08:56 |
| Balsaq | riding on my laurelsit would take a lot to move me off xubuntu. | 08:57 |
| Balsaq | ooops combined 2 thoughts | 08:57 |
| Balsaq | it would take a lot to move me off xubutu. | 08:58 |
| psycho_oreos | I was getting confused with laurelsit lol | 08:58 |
| psycho_oreos | yeah xubuntu is still very much ubuntu on the insides | 08:58 |
| Balsaq | i like the way way the ubuntu screen looks as it boots in 9.04 | 08:58 |
| psycho_oreos | all the core stuff are more or less ubuntu just the frontend that's different and a fair few other included programs | 08:58 |
| * psycho_oreos personally didn't like ubuntu's brown theme, but that's how they convey their distros across | 08:59 | |
| Balsaq | i dont either the brown at all...should be fire engine red | 08:59 |
| Balsaq | bright, arterial red. | 09:00 |
| psycho_oreos | well for me the xubuntu jaunty's theme is a little nicer but to each our own | 09:00 |
| psycho_oreos | s/our/their | 09:01 |
| Balsaq | i just added another 512 rdram to my lil xubuntu rocket. | 09:02 |
| Balsaq | pc1066 | 09:02 |
| psycho_oreos | rdram? *shudders* the days where those sticks would almost cost one an arm and a leg | 09:02 |
| Balsaq | runs real nice on a gig...in fact ran great on the half gig | 09:02 |
| Balsaq | yeah i really have to shop ebay for a oong time to buy it cheap but i get it done | 09:03 |
| Balsaq | i paid only 14 dolllars and free shipping | 09:03 |
| Balsaq | the pc1066 is pretty fast even by todays standards | 09:03 |
| psycho_oreos | yeah right now they aren't so expensive but they should already appear at the stage where they are rare.. it was a bitter race between rdram and ddr-sdram | 09:04 |
| Balsaq | yeah i wouldnt even be messing with them but my employer gave me 6 for free | 09:04 |
| Balsaq | all with 512 originally | 09:04 |
| Balsaq | almost done upgrading them all | 09:05 |
| psycho_oreos | there were some tests done on it but I don't know if they are reliable or not (of course reviewers can easily be bribed almost like every other person) and they say on some parts rdram was better than ddr-sdram but ddr-sdram were mostly better elsewhere | 09:05 |
| psycho_oreos | nice | 09:05 |
| Balsaq | runs at 533mgz | 09:05 |
| Balsaq | so no biggie....but xubuntu luvs it | 09:06 |
| * psycho_oreos goes overboard with RAMs, almost always putting in the maximum amount of memory the mobo can handle | 09:06 | |
| Balsaq | see...thats where it gets expensive...they still want 100-200 for the big sticks | 09:07 |
| Balsaq | ram is like money.... | 09:09 |
| psycho_oreos | the whole computer's internals is money lol | 09:09 |
| psycho_oreos | what grows from a simple computer just for web surfing to be a full blown multimedia computer that can handle high resolution gaming and all that multiple monitors jazz | 09:11 |

| Ongacska | I have an ubuntu 9.10, fresh install. The languga packages installed. Why I do not switch to hungarian language? | 10:38 |
| psycho_oreos | you've gone through that language thing before? | 10:39 |
| Sysi | select at login what language to use | 10:39 |
| psycho_oreos | or that | 10:40 |
| Ongacska | I tried swicth to language support in Sytem >>Admin, but the ubuntu not offered to me the selections:( | 10:40 |

| xubuntu551 | im not a geek uno | 12:42 |
| psycho_oreos | a channel where you can ask for your query on wars between taste | 12:43 |
| xubuntu551 | what do you use? | 12:43 |
| _Techie_ | were in a xubuntu channel, offcourse were gonna reccomend xubuntu | 12:43 |
| xubuntu551 | lol | 12:43 |
| psycho_oreos | I have xubuntu jaunty on my desktop but I have some other distro on my lappy which I'm using now | 12:44 |
| psycho_oreos | err one of my desktops | 12:44 |
| _Techie_ | i have xubuntu jaunty on my laptop and thats my only current linux install | 12:44 |
| _Techie_ | well, its ubuntu turned xubuntu | 12:44 |
| psycho_oreos | via aptitude install xubuntu-desktop? heh | 12:45 |
| psycho_oreos | xubuntu551, honestly? your question is kinda like asking which one tastes better, red apple or green apple? | 12:46 |
| psycho_oreos | and as _Techie_ which I very much agree, this is xubuntu only channel so its obvious | 12:46 |
| _Techie_ | also just a heads up, im in bed watching a movie and its bloody cold, so dont expect prompt replies from me | 12:47 |
| psycho_oreos | wintertime eh? | 12:48 |
| _Techie_ | yeah | 12:48 |
| _Techie_ | i live in New Zealand | 12:48 |
| psycho_oreos | its not too cold here, Brisbane, QLD, .au | 12:48 |
| _Techie_ | haha | 12:48 |
| _Techie_ | im south east of you | 12:48 |
| psycho_oreos | I'm lying here half naked with my lappy, setting it up | 12:48 |
| psycho_oreos | hehe | 12:48 |
| _Techie_ | anyway, back to my semi warm bed | 12:49 |
| _Techie_ | ill jump on the ipod | 12:49 |
| psycho_oreos | you should take your lappy to your bed, that's what I do | 12:49 |
| _Techie_ | i dont use my lappy | 12:49 |
| _Techie_ | and im watching the movie on my desktop coz its a 720p movie | 12:50 |
| psycho_oreos | ahh lol | 12:50 |
| * psycho_oreos continues setting up archlinux and ducks for any incoming !ot notices ;) | 12:51 | |
| techpod | iPod + warm bed = good | 12:53 |
| techpod | My laptop barely runs xubuntu | 12:55 |
| psycho_oreos | >1GHz? | 12:57 |
| techpod | 400mhz | 12:58 |
| psycho_oreos | eek | 12:58 |
| techpod | PowerPC g4 | 12:59 |
| psycho_oreos | oh I also got my operands wrong I was meant to say < 1GHz lol I fail | 12:59 |
| psycho_oreos | ahh and so you got ppc builds | 12:59 |
| techpod | I knew what you meant | 12:59 |
| techpod | Yeah ppc builds ftw and alot of work getting it going | 13:00 |
| psycho_oreos | hehe I can imagine :) EFI based BIOS and stuff | 13:00 |
| techpod | I use yaboot on the laptop | 13:01 |
| psycho_oreos | heh I have 0 experience with linux and ppc, I know they can be a pita at timems | 13:04 |
| psycho_oreos | s/timems/times | 13:04 |
| techpod | All my problems were involving video and wireless | 13:06 |
| psycho_oreos | I presume the wireless was airport driver? something about broadcom I suspect | 13:06 |
| psycho_oreos | not sure about what sort of video chipset they would have in those things but in the latter non-ppc builds they have nvidia chipsets | 13:07 |
| techpod | Had to patch the driver for wpa-psk support | 13:07 |
| residentgrey | how did you do that? I am still a newb | 13:08 |
| techpod | Ati fire gl mobility | 13:08 |
| psycho_oreos | sounds like someone didn't include that into package builds | 13:08 |
| psycho_oreos | ahh ati | 13:08 |
| psycho_oreos | residentgrey, you need source, build-essentials and need to know how to use patch (google has got some good examples of how) | 13:08 |
| residentgrey | patch like with svn? | 13:09 |
| psycho_oreos | no usually patches are files with names ending in .patch | 13:09 |
| psycho_oreos | oh I forgot to mention, you need to rebuild the driver from source too after applying the patch, if build is successful you install it and modprobe it | 13:10 |
| residentgrey | ima go man that modprobe again | 13:10 |
| psycho_oreos | you should imo, prior to loading the new module, make sure the old module is backed up and removed | 13:11 |
| residentgrey | i have a question about usbserial, can that point to more than one device? I had to set the device id and all that for my air card to work | 13:12 |
| residentgrey | when/if I put in another usb device will that get flashed? | 13:12 |
| psycho_oreos | depends on the id I suppose | 13:15 |
| residentgrey | oh ok | 13:15 |
| techpod | Movies almost over so I'll be shutting down soon | 13:16 |
| residentgrey | which movie? | 13:17 |
| techpod | Chronicles of riddick directors cut 720p | 13:17 |
| residentgrey | nice | 13:18 |
| _Techie_ | times up | 13:18 |
| techpod | I'll chat from the iPod for a little while | 13:20 |
| techpod | Awe | 13:23 |
| techpod | Nobodys talking now | 13:24 |
| residentgrey | im just trying to understand linux systems | 13:24 |
| residentgrey | gonna get certified | 13:24 |
| techpod | Don't put us freelance guys outta work | 13:25 |
| residentgrey | we need to be certified to be good freelance | 13:27 |
| residentgrey | and keep the job | 13:27 |
| techpod | Don't need a certification to be "good" | 13:28 |
| residentgrey | true but that's how you get the contracts and a job to get more xp | 13:37 |
| techpod | I'm gonna go to sleep, might be on tomorrow | 13:41 |

| charlie-tca | what version? | 17:01 |
| ploc | the last one : 9.10 | 17:01 |
| ploc | when my friend is inserting an audio cd, he gets no sound | 17:02 |
| ploc | but he has sound with a video from a dvd | 17:02 |
| charlie-tca | Put the cd in the drive, open exaile, select the bottom tab, audio ???, select a track, hit the big green +, then hit the play button | 17:02 |
| charlie-tca | It doesn't do it automatically | 17:03 |
| ploc | ok, I'll tell it to my friend so he can test it | 17:03 |

| Sachse_Siechtum | hello Sysi :-) | 17:27 |
| Sysi | hi | 17:27 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | how you doin Sysi ? :-) | 17:29 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | I want to activate anti aliasing with my nvidia card..so I look on this website: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=356888 when I set the command: nvidia-settings -a FSAA=num | 17:43 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | I get the message: ERROR: Error parsing assignment 'FSAA=num' (No attribute value specified). | 17:43 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | whoops | 17:44 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | alright my bad | 17:44 |
| charlie-tca | Let me think about that one... | 17:56 |
| betOu | Yj rhel | 18:28 |
| kura | Hey guys, apologies if you've had this question crop up a lot but; has anyone else experienced issues with Plymouth on latest install of Xubuntu 10.04? My install no longer displays any splash on boot at all. | 19:00 |
| charlie-tca | known issue depending on video card | 19:02 |
| kura | Ah, yey, thanks. I've seen on the forums some people seem to be having issues with nVidia and splash only displaying on reboot etc but because I use an ATI card I wondered if it might be something different. | 19:04 |
| kura | quit | 19:07 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | Hello charlie-tca | 19:23 |
| charlie-tca | Hello, Sachse_Siechtum | 19:24 |
| charlie-tca | Going better now? | 19:24 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | charlie-tca, just looking for a way to enable FSAA in WIne | 19:24 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | yeah | 19:24 |
| charlie-tca | I don't use Wine, have no idea, myself | 19:25 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | ok. | 19:26 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | well Max Payne 1 & 2 and Steam/ HL 2 run fine.... just the missing FSAA bugs me... | 19:27 |
| edvard | ok wise guys | 20:18 |
| edvard | i just installed 10.04 in virtualbox | 20:18 |
| edvard | where the hell did you put xorg.conf? | 20:18 |
| Sysi | it doesn't exist anymore by default | 20:19 |
| edvard | oh dear... | 20:19 |
| Sysi | write yourself or use xrandr | 20:19 |
| edvard | so X is so automagic now it doesn't need a config file? | 20:19 |
| edvard | what is the world coming to?... | 20:20 |
| charlie-tca | edvard: xorg.conf hasn't existed for over a year nwo | 20:21 |
| edvard | ? | 20:21 |
| charlie-tca | s/nwo/now | 20:21 |
| edvard | there was one in 9.10 | 20:21 |
| charlie-tca | Not by default | 20:21 |
| edvard | ? | 20:21 |
| edvard | where did mine come from? | 20:22 |
| edvard | i swear it was there when i installed | 20:22 |
| edvard | ack, i'm feeling dizzy | 20:22 |
| charlie-tca | either you / someone created it or it was carried forward by an upgrae | 20:22 |
| charlie-tca | 10.04 will create one if you install hardware drivers | 20:22 |
| edvard | aha | 20:22 |
| edvard | that must have been it | 20:22 |
| edvard | i installed the ATI driver on 64-bit realtime kernel, so I had to build it myself | 20:23 |
| edvard | catalyst control built me a custom file | 20:24 |
| edvard | i don't remember there not being one by default, however | 20:24 |
| edvard | xorg.conf is usually one of the first things I get my hands on after a fresh install | 20:24 |
| charlie-tca | yeah, it is not needed by most users now | 20:25 |
| edvard | i admit hacking xorg.conf is not for the faint of heart, but to remove it entirely? | 20:26 |
| edvard | it feels... | 20:26 |
| charlie-tca | If it is just an empty file, why keep it? | 20:26 |
| edvard | yes, I noticed the default one had a few token "section" lines in it with no real configuration info | 20:27 |
| edvard | that threw me too | 20:27 |
| charlie-tca | The only thing it does in lucid is tell the system to use "nvidia" instead of "nouveau" | 20:27 |
| charlie-tca | (on my computer) | 20:28 |
| edvard | ah | 20:28 |
| edvard | I heard about that | 20:28 |
| charlie-tca | heh | 20:28 |
| edvard | that's not X, that's nvidia dropping support for 'nv' | 20:28 |
| edvard | how well does nouveau work nowadays? | 20:29 |
| charlie-tca | nvidia is the hardware driver, nouveau is the open-source driver | 20:29 |
| charlie-tca | Works fine, but it does not have 3d | 20:29 |
| edvard | :\ | 20:29 |
| edvard | neither did nv, so i guess its a fine tradeoff | 20:30 |
| edvard | ok, back to virtualbox | 20:32 |
| edvard | thanks for the info | 20:32 |
| charlie-tca | Have fun with lucid | 20:32 |
| edvard | i'm hoping so | 20:33 |
| edvard | 9.10 was damn fine | 20:33 |
| edvard | but I'd like to stick with a lts release for once | 20:33 |
| charlie-tca | It is going to be a really good release, I hope | 20:33 |
| edvard | me too | 20:33 |
| charlie-tca | It is heading there | 20:33 |
| Appetite | Is there a way to permanently set the keyboard layout to en-AltGr deadkeys? I change it via applications->settings->keyboard->layout but it seems to revert to plain EN after a while/on reboot | 23:32 |
