[00:20] bump [read up to my question] :D [00:56] <_CommandeR_> sorry was not paying attention to this channel [00:57] <_CommandeR_> in that you mean restricted drivers Phrea? [00:57] yes [00:57] can one refresh that list? [00:58] <_CommandeR_> there should be a button line update or something if im not wrong [00:58] asking [00:58] :) [00:59] it's so weird that the little program doesnt do that automatically [01:00] it's a question of refreshing the list... [01:00] <_CommandeR_> hm but there is a button yes? [01:00] I'm asking her [01:00] <_CommandeR_> long time since i used it. [01:00] no answer as of yet [01:00] Phrea: Have you enabled the extra repositories? [01:01] Bodsda: have to ask [01:01] Bodsda: this should be apart from the repo's... [01:01] [imho, I know it doesnt work that way] [01:01] asking her these questions [01:02] Phrea: Whenever I reinstall, I have to enable the repo's to get my nvidia drivers [01:02] even via the hardware driver app? [01:02] Yes [01:02] hmmm, odd.... [01:02] never had to do that before... [01:03] not really, it is a restricted driver [01:03] yes, but they DO show up in my driver window [01:03] added or not [01:03] I personally dont care much for open source when it comes to drivers - it will show up, but wont install [01:03] it sees what kind of card I use, and it shows what I could use as a driver [01:04] Bodsda: neither do I :D [01:04] it just has to work [01:04] <_CommandeR_> Bodsda, well there is some good stuff in open source drivers. [01:04] I dont care a lot about 'free free' [01:04] to me, it's just free [01:04] <_CommandeR_> From what i know devs that create programs know better how to do it. [01:05] yeah, - 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 install [01:05] Bodsda: ok [01:05] thanks :) [01:05] * Bodsda does care about free free, just not when it comes to my video display [01:06] Bodsda: same as me :P [01:06] I bet you dont care about 'free free' codecs either, do you :D [01:06] couldnt give a scooby [01:06] <_CommandeR_> love are you mad [01:07] dma = bad though [01:07] <_CommandeR_> you mean drm ? [01:07] I bet he does [01:07] yeah, sorry, been writing dma a lot recently, its one of my variables in my bot [01:07] <_CommandeR_> ^^ [01:07] and who can live without codecs, closed, lisenced or whatever :D [01:07] I couldnt ever [01:08] <_CommandeR_> i can live without WMA WMV [01:09] night [01:09] * Phrea is pragmatic [01:09] it needs to work, period. :D [01:09] Linux is free to ME [01:09] that's what I care about [01:10] <_CommandeR_> well there is still allot of man hours behind it [01:10] I know [01:10] It's not that I dont appreciate it [01:10] I LOVE OS [01:11] but I love even more that it's free to me [01:11] and I do fight for freedom if need be [01:11] <_CommandeR_> hm, well Windows is also free in a way. [01:11] ya, no [01:11] it costs me an arm and a leg [01:12] <_CommandeR_> are few ways to get windows for "free" [01:12] I know [01:12] :) [01:12] but I also care about getting stuff legally nowadays :) [01:12] <_CommandeR_> hm.. [01:12] and I really do love FOSS [01:12] it's a no brainer [01:13] <_CommandeR_> but thing i love about linux is how you can change it for your own liking. [01:14] oh, very true too !! [01:14] :) [01:14] I love that bit :) [01:14] eventhough I dont hack much myself [01:14] I still love that I KNOW that I can [01:14] it's amazing [01:14] I have one more pc to go [this one] [01:14] then I'm windows free [01:14] :) [01:15] [my default box is running Linux, home server is, this one is left, waiting for Lucid] [01:15] <_CommandeR_> here you got mine = http://bayimg.com/image/ialekaaco.jpg [01:15] your what? [01:16] <_CommandeR_> desktop ^^ [01:16] thought so :) [01:16] seems cool [01:16] <_CommandeR_> Lucid Lynx ^ [01:16] but I'm a Gnome user [01:16] <_CommandeR_> that is gnome lol [01:16] it is? [01:16] wow, cool [01:16] hacked it to bits, didnt you :D [01:16] I'm more of a user than anyting else [01:17] I think my screenie is posted on the forums somewhere [01:17] let me find it [01:17] http://i.imgur.com/Ppx7n.jpg [01:17] <_CommandeR_> not really, added Docky2 to use it instead of the lower panel and gnome-do to launch apps by typing them and on the right you got firefox and on left terminal and top left nautilus [01:17] I've left that poo colored theme behind [01:18] it's a bit different now, but oh well [01:18] <_CommandeR_> hehe [01:18] it's mine none the less [01:18] :) [01:18] as you can see, I dont 'hack' a lot [01:18] <_CommandeR_> i still have the top panel for "when i need it" but it on auto hide [01:18] ah :) [01:18] <_CommandeR_> seems more slik this way :P [01:18] I dont understand docky at all [01:18] it takes up SO much room [01:19] <_CommandeR_> mutch no... [01:19] <_CommandeR_> change icon size then [01:19] still [01:19] <_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] I dont see how it's usable over the standard gnome panels [01:19] I'm not one for eye candy [01:20] as you can see :D [01:20] I just dont care [01:21] <_CommandeR_> hm [01:21] I'll prob not even change the theme of Lucid [01:21] it seems cool enough. [01:21] <_CommandeR_> i dont like the pink [01:21] change of wallpaper is all I need prob [01:21] it's purple :D [01:22] <_CommandeR_> same thing diferent hex code [01:22] wich comes out as a different thing :P [01:22] you dont catch me that easily, sir [01:22] :D [01:22] <_CommandeR_> but I am proud of this = http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qaSg2rRj4HQ&feature=related [01:22] <_CommandeR_> this is my lucid boot screen :P [01:22] I'm ignorant, but not THAT ignorant [01:22] :P [01:23] I dont do bootscreens [01:23] ...but ok, it does look effing cool [01:23] I might steal it [01:23] :P [01:23] is it your own?

[02:30] i know its available to download on linux 64bit on its website but not sure if that will work or to take the client on the software center [02:30] ShadowKnight: used to. I couldn't compile on karmic and finally resorted to virtualbox === mohi_away is now known as mohi1 [02:31] virtualbox? where and how can i get that? [02:31] virtualbox.com [02:31] and how does it work? [02:31] pretty much just like vmware [02:32] even reads vmdk disks [02:32] added benefit, the USB ports work [02:33] sorry, virtualbox.org [02:33] oh wow okay ill look into it right now. thank you haz3lnut [02:33] it's a Sun (now Oracle) program. [02:59] Howdy beginners [03:00] hi paultag, you know about git ? [03:00] yeah phillw :) [03:01] kewl, if i had this [03:01] phillw@piglet:~$ git clone git://lxde.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/lxde/menu-cache [03:01] how do i update it ? [03:02] i.e get the latest version [03:02] phillw, git pull [03:02] phillw, :) [03:02] -clone + pull ?? [03:03] phillw, cd menu-cache [03:03] git pull [03:03] I'll learn this stuff one day, just don't count on it being soon :-D [03:03] phillw, 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 ) [03:04] phillw, so when you "update" you are updating against the repository ( locally ). You want to sync remote to local, so you "PULL" their changes locally === mohi1 is now known as mohi_away [03:06] phillw, have you got it to update? [03:06] drat and darnation, that worked, but the same for libfm: git://pcmanfm.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/pcmanfm/libfm [03:06] ass="q [03:06] did not, yeah, it said i was uptodate [03:06] what was the output phillw ? [03:07] hillw@piglet:~$ cd menu-cache [03:07] phillw@piglet:~/menu-cache$ git pull [03:07] Already up-to-date. [03:07] phillw, then your local branch is already at the latest copy [03:07] ( that it knows about ) [03:07] phillw@piglet:~$ cd lbfm [03:07] bash: cd: lbfm: No such file or directory [03:08] Hold on phillw [03:09] it would help if i gave you the instructions .. [03:09] wiki.lxde.org/en/PCManFM_build_and_setup_guide#The_latest_source_code_in_development_from_git [03:10] phillw, what's git branch -a [03:10] remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/master [03:10] is that there? [03:10] I 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 instructions [03:10] kk hold on phillw [03:12] phillw, info on libfm [03:12] commit 60a482af6ab7902e247494515e3f09f23e7e2da0 [03:12] Merge: 88be756 bf0d174 [03:12] Author: Martin Bagge / brother (or Pootle...)

[03:13] Date: Tue Apr 13 23:51:35 2010 +0200 [03:13] phillw, go into each repo and run "git show" ( q to exit ) [03:13] phillw, see if that data lines up. If it does, you are up to date [03:14] paultag: which means exactly zero to me, took him 2 days for me to be able to compile it the 1st time :-( [03:14] phillw, go into each repo and run "git show" ( q to exit ) [03:14] cd libfm ? [03:14] phillw, the top three lines should match my three lines for each one I posted [03:15] phillw, yis [03:16] phillw, what makes you think you are out of date? [03:16] libfm says [03:16] Date: Sun Mar 21 17:55:21 2010 +0100 [03:16] yeah you are _slightly_ out of date [03:16] so, git pull ? [03:16] phillw, rm -rf libfm; git clone git://pcmanfm.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/pcmanfm/libfm [03:18] paultag: is there no way of updating them, or do we have to always do an rm -rf ? [03:18] phillw, git pull should work [03:18] phillw, but if your remote is fscked up, it could have issues [03:18] phillw, you should check with git branches -a and verify remote/HEAD is set to local [03:18] can i try git pull 1st :-) [03:19] phillw, :) [03:20] Date: Tue Apr 13 23:52:35 2010 +0200 [03:20] :-D [03:20] phillw, :) [03:20] phillw, congrats :) [03:22] paultag: as i say on the forum, do not a couple thousand coffee beans catch you out, I'm very much a n00b, espcially to this level of testing releases [03:22] phillw, :) [03:22] phillw, I trust you are smart enough to take all this in :) [03:23] I have it logged, I will make notes later [03:23] Hey, i downloaded the virtual box, i was wondering, how much ram should i put for it? my comp has 4gigs of ram [03:23] phillw, I'm here to help [03:23] phillw, please message me if you need more help [03:23] ShadowKnight, it's up to you :) [03:23] ShadowKnight, what are you running inside the vbox ? [03:24] i 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 out [03:26] paultag: I hope I summarised it here --> ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9108616&postcount=218 [03:26] the max it lets me put is around 3144mb of ram [03:26] cool! Thanks phillw :) [03:31] paultag: 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] phillw, Yup :) [03:33] paultag, do you have any recommendation on how much ram or how i should set up this virtualbox? [03:34] ShadowKnight, what are you running inside the vbox ? [03:34] Oh shit [03:34] sorry ShadowKnight, you responded to me [03:34] its okay dont worry lol [03:34] ShadowKnight, what version of windows? [03:34] i was thinking windows 7 but if you recommend a lower one ill try that one. i know i am in between 7 or xp [03:35] ShadowKnight, give it a healthy 2 GB [03:35] ShadowKnight, go a bit over if you want, but 2GB is a sweet spot, I think [03:36] okay then ill try that out right now, what are the limitations of virtualbox? [03:38] paultag, do i create a new hard disk or use an existing one? o_O [03:38] ShadowKnight, the OSE is missing some functionality of the "full" version [03:38] ShadowKnight, new hard drive [03:38] ShadowKnight, but it should have everything you need, and it's "more" F/OSS then VMWare [03:39] paultag, what do you mean the "full" version? and more in what sense? [03:40] paultag, sorry for bothering you again but dynamically or fixed size? [03:40] ShadowKnight, please bug me, I'm here to help :) [03:40] ShadowKnight, it's up to you [03:40] ShadowKnight, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VirtualBox [03:40] "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]" [03:41] More: [03:41] Licensing [03:41] There are two versions of the VirtualBox software.

[03:42] ShadowKnight, no [03:43] ShadowKnight, What it does is it creates a disk image in ~/.VirtualBox or something [03:43] ShadowKnight, and you can manually remove the files ( that act as hard drives ) [03:44] oh okay then thanks for clearing that up paultag [03:44] ShadowKnight, sure thing :) [03:47] paultag, what does this mean?

ShadowKnight If you could reboot into your BIOS and check that you are allowing virtualization Check for something like VT-x, or Hypervisor [03:54] so i enable virtualization under bios? okay thanks ill go try that right now. [03:54] ShadowKnight, let us know :) [04:14] hey [04:14] paultag, it still give me the same message even after enabling intels virtualization technology [04:14] ShadowKnight, odd [04:15] ShadowKnight, and you are sure you enabled it?

[19:45] is the computer on? [19:47] yea i have it on i am using virtualbox for windows 7 but it says fatal: bootable medium something something [19:47] is your windows 7 a legit copy? [19:48] yea but does that have anything to do with virtualbox on linux? o_O [19:48] if your copy of the OS is no good it wont work [19:49] did you check the md5sum on the file? [19:49] no i wouldnt know how to check that actually. [19:49] so virtualbox is linked to your os? what about if you just have linux by itself installed? how would that work? [19:51] vbox runs the os in a virtual computer the base os has little effect on this [19:51] oh 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? [19:52] well if your copy of windows 7 doesnt work, it wont work [19:54] is it a .iso? [19:54] so is there anything i can do about that? [19:54] yea it should be, imma try to redo everything right now i think cause this is really weird to me.
