Phreabump [read up to my question] :D00:20
_CommandeR_sorry was not paying attention to this channel00:56
_CommandeR_in that you mean restricted drivers Phrea?00:57
Phreayes00:57
Phreacan one refresh that list?00:57
_CommandeR_there should be a button line update or something if im not wrong00:58
Phreaasking00:58
Phrea:)00:58
Phreait's so weird that the little program doesnt do that automatically00:59
Phreait's a question of refreshing the list...01:00
_CommandeR_hm but there is a button yes?01:00
PhreaI'm asking her01:00
_CommandeR_long time since i used it.01:00
Phreano answer as of yet01:00
BodsdaPhrea: Have you enabled the extra repositories?01:00
PhreaBodsda: have to ask01:01
PhreaBodsda: this should be apart from the repo's...01:01
Phrea[imho, I know it doesnt work that way]01:01
Phreaasking her these questions01:01
BodsdaPhrea: Whenever I reinstall, I have to enable the repo's to get my nvidia drivers01:02
Phreaeven via the hardware driver app?01:02
BodsdaYes01:02
Phreahmmm, odd....01:02
Phreanever had to do that before...01:02
Bodsdanot really, it is a restricted driver01:03
Phreayes, but they DO show up in my driver window01:03
Phreaadded or not01:03
BodsdaI personally dont care much for open source when it comes to drivers - it will show up, but wont install01:03
Phreait sees what kind of card I use, and it shows what I could use as a driver01:03
PhreaBodsda: neither do I :D01:04
Phreait just has to work01:04
_CommandeR_Bodsda, well there is some good stuff in open source drivers.01:04
PhreaI dont care a lot about 'free free'01:04
Phreato me, it's just free01:04
_CommandeR_From what i know devs that create programs know better how to do it.01:04
Bodsdayeah, - im off for no, but my recomendation is to enable all repo's, run   sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade    then open the restricted drivers section and see if you can install01:05
PhreaBodsda: ok01:05
Phreathanks :)01:05
* Bodsda does care about free free, just not when it comes to my video display01:05
PhreaBodsda: same as me :P01:06
PhreaI bet you dont care about 'free free' codecs either, do you :D01:06
Bodsdacouldnt give a scooby01:06
_CommandeR_love are you mad01:06
Bodsdadma = bad though01:07
_CommandeR_you mean drm ?01:07
PhreaI bet he does01:07
Bodsdayeah, sorry, been writing dma a lot recently, its one of my variables in my bot01:07
_CommandeR_^^01:07
Phreaand who can live without codecs, closed, lisenced or whatever :D01:07
PhreaI couldnt ever01:07
_CommandeR_i can live without WMA WMV01:08
Bodsdanight01:09
* Phrea is pragmatic01:09
Phreait needs to work, period. :D01:09
PhreaLinux is free to ME01:09
Phreathat's what I care about01:09
_CommandeR_well there is still allot of man hours behind it01:10
PhreaI know01:10
PhreaIt's not that I dont appreciate it01:10
PhreaI LOVE OS01:10
Phreabut I love even more that it's free to me01:11
Phreaand I do fight for freedom if need be01:11
_CommandeR_hm, well Windows is also free in a way.01:11
Phreaya, no01:11
Phreait costs me an arm and a leg01:11
_CommandeR_are few ways to get windows for "free"01:12
PhreaI know01:12
Phrea:)01:12
Phreabut I also care about getting stuff legally nowadays :)01:12
_CommandeR_hm..01:12
Phreaand I really do love FOSS01:12

Phreastill01:19
_CommandeR_then change to inteli hide and it hides when you have something fullscreen and only shows when you move your mouse over it.01:19
PhreaI dont see how it's usable over the standard gnome panels01:19
PhreaI'm not one for eye candy01:19

paultagHowdy beginners02:59
phillwhi paultag, you know about git ?03:00
paultagyeah phillw :)03:00
phillwkewl, if i had this03:01
phillwphillw@piglet:~$ git clone git://lxde.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/lxde/menu-cache03:01
phillwhow do i update it ?03:01
phillwi.e get the latest version03:02
paultagphillw, git pull03:02
paultagphillw, :)03:02
phillw-clone + pull ??03:02
paultagphillw, cd menu-cache03:03
paultaggit pull03:03
phillwI'll learn this stuff one day, just don't count on it being soon :-D03:03
paultagphillw, it's different then svn in one really really important way -- every checkout is a full repository. You commit to the local "glob" and when you want, you can push or sync with another repo ( such as sourceforge's )03:03
paultagphillw, so when you "update" you are updating against the repository ( locally ). You want to sync remote to local, so you "PULL" their changes locally03:04
=== mohi1 is now known as mohi_away
paultagphillw, have you got it to update?03:06
phillwdrat and darnation, that worked, but the same for libfm: git://pcmanfm.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/pcmanfm/libfm03:06
phillwass="q03:06
phillwdid not, yeah, it said i was uptodate03:06
paultagwhat was the output phillw ?03:06
phillwhillw@piglet:~$ cd menu-cache03:07
phillwphillw@piglet:~/menu-cache$ git pull03:07
phillwAlready up-to-date.03:07
paultagphillw, then your local branch is already at the latest copy03:07
paultag( that it knows about )03:07
phillwphillw@piglet:~$ cd lbfm03:07
phillwbash: cd: lbfm: No such file or directory03:07
paultagHold on phillw03:08
phillwit would help if i gave you the instructions ..03:09
phillwwiki.lxde.org/en/PCManFM_build_and_setup_guide#The_latest_source_code_in_development_from_git03:09
paultagphillw, what's  git branch -a03:10
paultag  remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/master03:10
paultagis that there?03:10
phillwI already have built it once, and have all the bits, I need to update what I had to the new ones, and then i can follow the instructions03:10

paultagphillw, go into each repo and run "git show" ( q to exit )03:13
paultagphillw, see if that data lines up. If it does, you are up to date03:13
phillwpaultag: which means exactly zero to me, took him 2 days for me to be able to compile it the 1st time :-(03:14

paultagphillw, rm -rf libfm; git clone git://pcmanfm.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/pcmanfm/libfm03:16
phillwpaultag: is there no way of updating them, or do we have to always do an rm -rf ?03:18
paultagphillw, git pull should work03:18
paultagphillw, but if your remote is fscked up, it could have issues03:18
paultagphillw, you should check with git branches -a and verify remote/HEAD is set to local03:18
phillwcan i try git pull 1st :-)03:18

ShadowKnightHey, i downloaded the virtual box, i was wondering, how much ram should i put for it? my comp has 4gigs of ram03:23
paultagphillw, I'm here to help03:23
paultagphillw, please message me if you need more help03:23
paultagShadowKnight, it's up to you :)03:23
paultagShadowKnight, what are you running inside the vbox ?03:23
ShadowKnighti want to run windows (idk which one to run either yet lol) because of some things i needed with it. and i was just planning to see which other systems would be good to try out to just test them out03:24
phillwpaultag: I hope I summarised it here --> ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9108616&postcount=21803:26
ShadowKnightthe max it lets me put is around 3144mb of ram03:26
paultagcool! Thanks phillw :)03:26
phillwpaultag: the people who help me are those on #ubuntu-beginners, ##devil, ##ufbt, #lubuntu, #ubuntu+1 and then a load off the forums, the only reason I have those beans is that I always try to help back, as I know many do.03:31
paultagphillw, Yup :)03:31
ShadowKnightpaultag, do you have any recommendation on how much ram or how i should set up this virtualbox?03:33
paultagShadowKnight, what are you running inside the vbox ?03:34
paultagOh shit03:34
paultagsorry ShadowKnight, you responded to me03:34
ShadowKnightits okay dont worry lol03:34
paultagShadowKnight, what version of windows?03:34
ShadowKnighti was thinking windows 7 but if you recommend a lower one ill try that one. i know i am in between 7 or xp03:34
paultagShadowKnight, give it a healthy 2 GB03:35
paultagShadowKnight, go a bit over if you want, but 2GB is a sweet spot, I think03:35
ShadowKnightokay then ill try that out right now, what are the limitations of virtualbox?03:36
ShadowKnightpaultag, do i create a new hard disk or use an existing one? o_O03:38
paultagShadowKnight, the OSE is missing some functionality of the "full" version03:38
paultagShadowKnight, new hard drive03:38
paultagShadowKnight, but it should have everything you need, and it's "more" F/OSS then VMWare03:38
ShadowKnightpaultag, what do you mean the "full" version? and  more in what sense?03:39
ShadowKnightpaultag, sorry for bothering you again but dynamically or fixed size?03:40
paultagShadowKnight, please bug me, I'm here to help :)03:40
paultagShadowKnight, it's up to you03:40
paultagShadowKnight, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VirtualBox03:40
paultag"The application was initially offered under a proprietary software license. One version of the product was available at no cost for personal or evaluation use, subject to the VirtualBox Personal Use and Evaluation License (PUEL).[4] In January 2007, VirtualBox Open Source Edition (OSE) was released as free software, subject to the requirements of the GNU General Public License (GPL), version 2.[5]"03:40
paultagMore:03:41
paultagLicensing03:41
paultagThere are two versions of the VirtualBox software.03:41
paultagThe full VirtualBox package comes under a proprietary Personal Use and Evaluation License (PUEL), which allows using the software free of charge for personal and educational use and evaluation of the product.[14] Licenses for commercial deployment of the full VirtualBox package can be purchased from Oracle, although commercial use by individuals within a company is covered by the free PUEL.[15]03:41
paultagA second version called the VirtualBox Open Source Edition (OSE) is free software released under the GNU General Public License (GPL), from which the following closed-source features are missing:[16]03:41
paultagThe built-in Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) server03:41
paultagUSB support (see below) and the combination of running the RDP server with support of remote USB devices03:41
ShadowKnightlol thanks paultag, well i dont think that ill be missing those features very much lol03:41
paultagShadowKnight, :)03:41
ShadowKnightpaultag, if you uninstall the package would it take away the harddisk storage it is using?03:42
paultagShadowKnight, no03:42
paultagShadowKnight, What it does is it creates a disk image in ~/.VirtualBox or something03:43
paultagShadowKnight, and you can manually remove the files ( that act as hard drives )03:43

ShadowKnightpaultag, it says that my processor does offer hardware support for virtualization but that it needs to be run with administrative rights in order to determine whether intel's vmx virtual machine extensions are being locked on, locked off, or neither. it says that the bios may be deliberately disabling support and that i should do it with administrative privileges under a 32bit version of nt xp or vista04:30

ShadowKnighthey, i was trying to install virtual box yesterday  but i still cant get it to get a bootable medium, is there anything i can do about that? i have tried a lot of different things and nothing works so far19:28
ShadowKnightdoes anybody know why?19:45
Raidsongis the computer on?19:45
ShadowKnightyea i have it on i am using virtualbox for windows 7 but it says fatal: bootable medium something something19:47
Raidsongis your windows 7 a legit copy?19:47
ShadowKnightyea but does that have anything to do with virtualbox on linux? o_O19:48
Raidsongif your copy of the OS is no good it wont work19:48
Raidsongdid you check the md5sum on the file?19:49
ShadowKnightno i wouldnt know how to check that actually.19:49
ShadowKnightso virtualbox is linked to your os? what about if you just have linux by itself installed? how would that work?19:49
Raidsongvbox runs the os in a virtual computer the base os has little effect on this19:51
ShadowKnightoh okay then so how would the windows 7 legit thing work in this case when im trying to run virtualbox in linux to emulate windows 7?19:51
Raidsongwell if your copy of windows 7 doesnt work, it wont work19:52
Raidsongis it a .iso?19:54
ShadowKnightso is there anything i can do about that?19:54
ShadowKnightyea it should be, imma try to redo everything right now i think cause this is really weird to me.19:54
Raidsongyou should double check to see if the image is good19:54
ShadowKnightokay ill be back in a bit thanks raidsong19:56

ShadowKnighthey Raidsong, is there a way to do it without the iso? because it says something about creating a new hard disk and what not so i was wondering about that20:28
Raidsongi have no idea, ive never used vbox20:29
ShadowKnighthmmm okay then thanks20:29
pedro3005ShadowKnight, do you have a burned CD?20:30
ibuclawShadowKnight, an iso of w7...20:35
=== Commodore64_2 is now known as Commodore64
Raidsongibuclaw, its legit though20:36
ibuclawlegit != legally acquired.20:37
Raidsongit was legally acquired20:38
Raidsonghe assured me so20:38
ibuclawnow last time I checked (being an MCP) - Microsoft only supply trial versions via the mcp site20:38
Raidsongibuclaw, what are you trying to say?20:39
pedro3005denying someone help just because they supposedly acquired it illegally (with emphasis on supposedly) does not demote piracy20:41
swoodyand I wouldn't jump to conclusions. My school offers W7 Pro for free, and you can download it as an .iso and burn it yourself :)20:42
Raidsongsee20:43
Raidsongits not what you know its what you can prove20:43
ibuclawRaidsong, what I'm saying is - this is the only legal version of the W7 iso you can get. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/cc442495.aspx20:45
ibuclawtrue on school volume licenses though...20:45
Raidsongperhaps hes friends with somebody who works for microsoft20:46
ibuclawam not sure on isos though (although - am not a MCT ... but knowing one - he downloaded gigabytes of images onto his server)20:47
pedro3005ibuclaw, innocent until proven guilty!20:47
ibuclawbleh20:48
Raidsongyea lets say he got it from a school20:49
ibuclawin any case he's probably being a dumbass and not loading the iso as a cdrom20:49
ibuclaw"fatal: no bootable medium found" being round abouts the message emitted when the vbox BIOS can't find anyhting to boot from20:50
pedro3005ibuclaw, no need for disrespect20:51
