| Jon_Monreal | ia32-libs | 00:02 |
|---|---|---|
| screwedmybootnom | says it's already the newest version | 00:03 |
| Jon_Monreal | Oh snap | 00:04 |
| Jon_Monreal | What's the problem that installing ia32-libs was supposed to solve? | 00:05 |
| pedro3005 | You're supposed to sorta compile some driver with it | 00:06 |
| screwedmybootnom | uhhh, i believe the error i was getting was normally from running a 32 bit app in a 64 bit system | 00:06 |
| pedro3005 | don't remember too well | 00:06 |
| screwedmybootnom | and that was supposed to fix it | 00:06 |
| pedro3005 | oh | 00:06 |
| Jon_Monreal | screwednybootnom: Did you try compiling and get an error, then? | 00:06 |
| Jon_Monreal | screwedmybootnom: What was the error? | 00:07 |
| screwedmybootnom | nope, didn't compile it or anything, i only use either apt-get or synaptic | 00:08 |
| screwedmybootnom | or now the software center | 00:08 |
| screwedmybootnom | error was "Gtk-WARNING **: /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines/libubuntulooks.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32" | 00:08 |
| Jon_Monreal | screwedmybootnom: looking into it | 00:11 |
| bodhi_zazen | screwedmybootnom: what application are you trying to run ? | 00:15 |
| bodhi_zazen | Open synaptic and search "ia32" | 00:16 |
| bodhi_zazen | I saw the error | 00:17 |
| screwedmybootnom | it shows on startup, and on that i was running conky, gnome-do/docky, and the standard ubuntu startup apps like network manager, etc | 00:17 |
| bodhi_zazen | try apt-get install ia32-libs-gtk | 00:18 |
| bodhi_zazen | and/or apt-get install ia32-libs | 00:19 |
| screwedmybootnom | ran ia32-libs, said newest version already installed. i'm reinstalling now via synaptic | 00:19 |
| screwedmybootnom | when i reinstalled, it would automatically mark any unmet dependencies, right? | 00:19 |
| bodhi_zazen | Aye | 00:20 |
| bodhi_zazen | screwedmybootnom: try apt-get install ia32-libs-gtk | 00:20 |
| bodhi_zazen | You most likely are missing some ia32 libs ... | 00:21 |
| screwedmybootnom | gahhh...already newest version | 00:21 |
| bodhi_zazen | File a bug report =) | 00:21 |
| screwedmybootnom | <bodhi_zazen> that's what i figured, but i can't figure out which ones | 00:21 |
| screwedmybootnom | hahaha yeah, i waited about a year and a half for a fix on my graphics card | 00:22 |
| screwedmybootnom | and oddly enough, it came from the nvidia forums, not the ubuntu community | 00:22 |
| bodhi_zazen | against libubuntulooks | 00:22 |
| bodhi_zazen | no comment screwedmybootnom , but yes if it is a nvidia problem, you need to go to nvidia as the drive is closed source | 00:23 |
| screwedmybootnom | aaaaaawesome...now my windows froze! wth. i can't click on anything | 00:23 |
| screwedmybootnom | yeah i found that out, nothin against the community lol kinda hard to work with that | 00:23 |
| screwedmybootnom | i literally can't even click on xchat menus. not quite sure how it's still letting me type... | 00:24 |
| Jon_Monreal | screwedmybootnom: Are the ia32-libs still reinstalling? | 00:24 |
| Jon_Monreal | Well, while we have at least a minute, can anyone give me more information about joining the Beginners Team? | 00:27 |
| jon__ | ooook, this is screwedmyboot, had to reboot | 00:30 |
| Jon_Monreal | jon__: We you reinstalling ia32-libs while you restarted? | 00:30 |
| Jon_Monreal | *Were | 00:30 |
| jon__ | nope, got that done. i was looking at my nvidia GUI settings | 00:31 |
| jon__ | found em when you pointed me to that plymouth/nvidia fix, and i was curious. oops | 00:31 |
| Jon_Monreal | jon__: That's good, at least no broken packages then. | 00:32 |
| jon__ | yeah i wasn't installing anything, i think i'm safe | 00:32 |
| Jon_Monreal | jon__: You going to give it another go? | 00:32 |
| jon__ | not sure where to start. i'm still getting that "wrong ELF class" error | 00:32 |
| jon__ | and the only thing almighty google brings me is something about flash from the dapper forums | 00:32 |
| Jon_Monreal | jon__: That's why you're supposed to submit a bug report | 00:33 |
| jon__ | true. i'm just not sure what to file it under/blame it on | 00:33 |
| Jon_Monreal | jon__: libubuntulooks | 00:33 |
| jon__ | ah yes. see, that's why you're the one answering all the questions! lol sorry, i'm a bit brain dead right nwo | 00:34 |
| jon__ | nw | 00:34 |
| Jon_Monreal | jon__: That's okay lol | 00:37 |
| asterismo | compiledkernel: i figured out with the 32" LCD TV | 00:37 |
| asterismo | used xrandr package | 00:37 |
| compiledkernel | asterismo: excellent | 00:40 |
| jon__ | <Jon_Monreal> see, i'm not even sure what that error message is referring to; as in, what bad thing is happening to my system that's generating that report? | 00:40 |
| asterismo | no, just a scientist | 00:40 |
| asterismo | i'm an astronomer | 00:40 |
| compiledkernel | oh well, random SAFE link drop. | 00:40 |
| compiledkernel | http://gwos.org | 00:40 |
| asterismo | but i used the TV for playing with openarena once | 00:41 |
| Jon_Monreal | jon__: The best thing to do would be just posting your input and the output from the terminal in the bug report, along with your version numbers of libubuntulooks and ia32-libs | 00:42 |
| jon__ | how do i get that? | 00:43 |
| jon__ | sorry, lemme rephrase: i'm not inputing anything into the terminal, the initial errors show up on startup | 00:45 |
| jon__ | and as i said before, when conky or docky would shut down, even if i ran it from a terminal, it wouldn't output anything | 00:46 |
| jon__ | so i'm not sure what terminal input/output i can post | 00:46 |
| Jon_Monreal | jon__: Just posting the error should be fine then. | 00:50 |
| jon__ | ok, before i do that, are you familiar with libubuntulooks? because i'm not finding it on my system | 00:51 |
| Jon_Monreal | jon__: Like I said, though, including the version numbers of libubuntulooks and ia32-libs is important, as is emphasizing the fact that you have ia32-libs installed so they don't think it's the same problem we did | 00:51 |
| jon__ | i know the file the error is referring to but it's not a package | 00:51 |
| jon__ | yeah i was trying to do that, but i can't find/don't know how to get the version of libubuntulooks on my system | 00:52 |
| Jon_Monreal | jon__: No, I'm not familiar with ubuntulooks | 00:53 |
| jon__ | lol alright, thanks for all your help, i'll keep trucking on this | 00:53 |
| Jon_Monreal | jon__: I would file against ia32-libs | 00:54 |
| Jon_Monreal | Looks like it might be this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ia32-libs/+bug/140604 | 00:57 |
| Jon_Monreal | And there's a fix released | 00:57 |
| Jon_Monreal | That's definitely ‬worth a try | 00:57 |
| jon__ | rock on, thanks. gonna restart and see if my favorite error shows up! | 01:01 |
| Jon_Monreal | Scouris: see http://docs.dal.net/docs/connection.html#5 | 01:31 |
| Scouris | Jon_Monreal, whats that for? | 01:33 |
| pedro3005 | * Scouris has quit (Quit: Who is peer, and why does he keep closing my connection?) | 01:33 |
| Scouris | Oh, ok. Sorry, my brother has set 'funny messages' to come up when he /quits, I guess he put it on my user profile, too | 01:34 |
| pedro3005 | no problem, I laughed :P | 01:34 |
| Jon_Monreal | Haha I was wondering what IRC client would do that | 01:37 |

| rraj_be | good morning to everyone :) | 03:12 |
| dragondon | greetings all | 03:12 |
| dragondon | I could use some help with a system randomly freezing while I am away from it. Would like to know which log to view to find out what is happening. | 03:12 |
| rraj_be | i have a probelm with keryx in windows... when ever i start keryx.exe its displaying th eeror as "Please create the project on plugins supported OS" what should i do now? | 03:13 |
| dragondon | @rraj_be A google search produced some interesting results. http://www.google.ca/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=keryx+%2B%22%22Please+create+the+project+on+plugins+supported+OS%22%22 | 03:15 |
| rraj_be | thanks dragondon... solved by the same :) | 03:16 |
| dragondon | no probs. Don't know anything about keryx but figured it was worth tossing out there :) | 03:17 |
| rraj_be | :) | 03:19 |
| dragondon | got any ideas about freezing systems? | 03:19 |
| rraj_be | i tried googling......but i dont have the ofline machine now with hand | 03:19 |
| rraj_be | nope mate | 03:19 |
| dragondon | pretty quiet here.....hopefully someone will be able to help.... | 03:20 |
| tonno | Hi , first time on irc and 3rd day with ubuntu...having problems installing antivirus...any help? | 03:21 |
| dragondon | well, I'll wing it :) First, why bother with an AV? I'd be less concerned with that IMHO. | 03:22 |
| dragondon | I'd learn firewalls instead. | 03:22 |
| tonno | well let's start with av..then I'll try firewalls | 03:23 |
| tonno | I just discovered the sudo command | 03:23 |
| tonno | now I believe I'm in root whatever but I cannot navigate between folders | 03:24 |
| === malev_ is now known as malev | ||
| tonno | with the cd command | 03:25 |
| dragondon | @tonno in Synaptic Package Manager, search for clamav and install the 'clamav-freshclam' package. There's only a couple of AV prgrams out there for Linux I believe. | 03:25 |
| dragondon | typically you just type 'cd {folder name}' | 03:26 |
| tonno | i was hoping to install the antivir | 03:26 |
| === Guest95862 is now known as CKernel | ||
| dragondon | @tonno ?? What do you mean? ClamAV is an antivirus program. | 03:26 |
| tonno | yep I know about the cd but after typing sudo -i I cannot find any folder | 03:26 |
| tonno | sorry avira one I mean | 03:27 |
| dragondon | does avira make one for Linux? | 03:27 |
| tonno | mmm.... I'm not an expert but I found a unix version.is it ok? | 03:28 |
| dragondon | @tonno use 'man sudo' to get you more details on the command. But why are you using that switc? | 03:28 |
| dragondon | I can't speak to whether or not Avira is a good one or not. To be honest, 99% of any crap you might get simply won't run on Linux because they are designed for windows | 03:29 |
| tonno | reading the av manual I need to log in as root | 03:30 |
| dragondon | couple of things. Did you get your AV from here: http://www.free-av.de/en/download/download_servers.php | 03:31 |
| dragondon | and you should really never log in as root. All you need to do is run the command/install AS root with the sudo command. | 03:32 |
| tonno | yes from there | 03:32 |
| dragondon | i.e. "sudo install avira" (don't know the exact command, just an example) | 03:32 |
| dragondon | if you got it from there site, then you should be fine. | 03:32 |
| dragondon | would also be a good idea to watch tutorial videos on youtube. tons of them there. | 03:33 |
| bodhi_zazen | 'lo Ms_Angel_D | 03:33 |
| tonno | I know that I should not log in as root but that's what requested..... | 03:33 |
| bodhi_zazen | tonno: do not log in as root, but sudo -i is fine, that is different | 03:34 |
| dragondon | it doesn't matter. All you need is to use the sudo command. it's the same as. | 03:34 |
| dragondon | greetings @bodhi_zazen | 03:34 |
| tonno | yes that's what I did and instead of the usr I got root | 03:34 |
| bodhi_zazen | 'lo dragondon | 03:34 |
| bodhi_zazen | tonno: Keep in mind - Those who play with root | 03:35 |
| tonno | but after that I cannot move to the desktop where I have the installation files | 03:35 |
| bodhi_zazen | eventually kill tree | 03:35 |
| dragondon | @bodhi_zazen would you happen to know how to diagnoze a freezing system? | 03:35 |
| bodhi_zazen | dragondon: 1. Check the logs | 03:35 |
| bodhi_zazen | 2. Check the temp, overheating is common | 03:35 |
| bodhi_zazen | 3. Hardware - videocard or wireless are most common | 03:36 |
| dragondon | @bodhi_zazen I figured as much, problem is I don't know which log(s) to check and what I should look for... | 03:36 |
| bodhi_zazen | cd /var/log | 03:36 |
| bodhi_zazen | tail messages | 03:36 |
| bodhi_zazen | look for any errors | 03:36 |
| bodhi_zazen | log.error | 03:36 |
| bodhi_zazen | tail dmesg | 03:36 |
| bodhi_zazen | boot is boot messages | 03:36 |
| bodhi_zazen | when in doubt , tail ./* > log | 03:37 |
| bodhi_zazen | then nano log | 03:37 |
| bodhi_zazen | tail ./* ~/log | 03:37 |
| bodhi_zazen | gedit ~/log | 03:37 |
| bodhi_zazen | tail ./* > ~/log | 03:37 |
| bodhi_zazen | sorry , lol | 03:37 |
| dragondon | ok, I suspect I have a number of issues. One being I am seeing a lot of 'dropped'; messages. tail doesn't go back far enough to where I suspect the freeze happened. | 03:38 |
| bodhi_zazen | Well, dropped is usually a firewall issue | 03:38 |
| bodhi_zazen | so trun your firewall off while you look into things | 03:38 |
| bodhi_zazen | or | 03:38 |
| bodhi_zazen | grep -v dropped messages > ~/log | 03:39 |
| dragondon | just so I understan, that last command will list the log file without the dropped messages? | 03:39 |
| bodhi_zazen | yep | 03:40 |
| bodhi_zazen | grep -v foo | 03:40 |
| bodhi_zazen | see man grep =) | 03:40 |
| Ms_Angel_D | Hi bodhi_zazen, sorry I was afk :D | 03:40 |
| bodhi_zazen | np Ms_Angel_D | 03:40 |
| dragondon | :) Still larning more myself. I am trying to put all this togther. | 03:40 |
| bodhi_zazen | I understand dragondon | 03:41 |
| bodhi_zazen | learning to read the man pages is a critical skill =) | 03:41 |
| bodhi_zazen | reading the man pages will answer lots of questions | 03:41 |
| bodhi_zazen | although not all men (man pages) are equal | 03:41 |
| dragondon | just so I get the text right, how do I write the syntax for the 'dropped messages'? | 03:42 |
| dragondon | example: dragondon-desktop kernel: [ 3026.716112] DROPPED IN= OUT=eth0 SRC=192.168.1.9 DST=192.168.1.255 LEN=222 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=0 DF PROTO=UDP SPT=631 DPT=631 LEN=202 | 03:42 |
| bodhi_zazen | grep -v DROPPED /var/log/messages > ~/log | 03:43 |
| dragondon | i thought so but figured I'd ask to be safe :) | 03:43 |
| bodhi_zazen | NP | 03:43 |
| bodhi_zazen | If you do not ask, we do not know where you get lost in the nerdy lingo | 03:44 |
| bodhi_zazen | I mean, if that command made sense to you, don't you think you have a problem ? | 03:44 |
| bodhi_zazen | =) | 03:44 |
| dragondon | Linux is a kind og new/old thing for me. Grew up in the DOS days, got dumbed down by windows, smartened up and switched to Linux :) | 03:45 |
| dragondon | :) | 03:45 |
| bodhi_zazen | When I was growing up, I used to log into what we termed "the main frame" , lol | 03:46 |
| dragondon | running "grep -v DROPPED > ~/log", taking it's sweet time here.... | 03:46 |
| bodhi_zazen | you forgot the message log | 03:46 |
| bodhi_zazen | grep -v DROPPED /var/log/messages > ~/log | 03:46 |
| dragondon | yeah, missed the mainframe stuff, but did get to play with punch cards in grade 9/10 :) | 03:46 |
| bodhi_zazen | Ah , punch cards, talk about hanging chits =) | 03:47 |
| dragondon | ah, that would explain the delay :) | 03:47 |
| dragondon | Hmm, last thing the system shows is "pulseaudio[2141]: ratelimit.c: 1 events suppressed" before I came back up and had to power cycle the machine. | 03:48 |
| bodhi_zazen | That is a common message | 03:49 |
| bodhi_zazen | Check you temp - open the box an clean it with a vacuum cleaner, lol | 03:49 |
| bodhi_zazen | Then check with google to see if any hardware problems are reported with your videocard and if you use it wireless | 03:50 |
| dragondon | <cringe> a vac cleaner? Wow.....although been in/out of this system a few times, doesn't look that bad at all. | 03:50 |
| dragondon | should I mention that I'm running 10.04? :) | 03:50 |
| bodhi_zazen | Does 9.10 run without any problem ? | 03:50 |
| bodhi_zazen | You using nvidia or ati card ? | 03:51 |
| bodhi_zazen | Try Fedora. Is this a problem across all Linux , or just Ubuntu ? | 03:51 |
| bodhi_zazen | =) | 03:51 |
| dragondon | This is an old Dell Dimension 1100 (4-5 years). Was working fine till a week or so. After the 10.04 upgrade it was ok but not sure if it was some update or the screen saver that may be causing the issue. | 03:53 |
| bodhi_zazen | Well, if it is an old box, could be over heating or a failiing HD =) | 03:53 |
| bodhi_zazen | hard to say | 03:53 |
| bodhi_zazen | hardware problems usually persist across OS | 03:54 |
| bodhi_zazen | so if you can run 9.10, Fedora, etc, but not 10.04 ... | 03:54 |
| bodhi_zazen | then it is Ubuntu | 03:54 |
| dragondon | 9.04 ran 'fine', but had video issues. I added in a PCI ATI 9200 series card and that sorta worked for awhile but then the problem returned. went back to the onboard stuff. | 03:54 |
| bodhi_zazen | But if you have a problem in multiple OS, more likely hardware | 03:54 |
| dragondon | I'm only running one OS atm | 03:54 |
| bodhi_zazen | How about booting a live CD for a while ? | 03:56 |
| dragondon | good idea. a bit of a shame to loose all the programs installed but they aren't that critical, save for IRS and such ;) | 03:57 |
| dragondon | IRC.... | 03:57 |
| bodhi_zazen | naw, just make a DATA partition for stuff you want to save, the OS is easily replaced | 03:58 |
| TJ_D | Hi all. I'm trying to compare two different .c files and show the differences between them. But I only want to see the lines that differ, not the entire document with notation on different lines...anyone know the syntax? | 03:59 |
| dragondon | well, that's a whole other game for me atm. I'll run with a Live CD overnight and see if it freezes. | 03:59 |
| bodhi_zazen | diff file.1 file.2 ? | 04:00 |
| TJ_D | That's what I tried, it's just sending me the entire file...Maybe because the lines are not the same between the two | 04:03 |
| TJ_D | It's almost the same file, one is just an updated version of the source, trying to find the change that is crashing for me | 04:03 |
| bodhi_zazen | Ouch =) | 04:03 |
| dragondon | maybe cut/paste into two new files where the lines can match up? | 04:04 |
| bodhi_zazen | diff -y foo foo2 | 04:05 |
| bodhi_zazen | diff --suppress-common-lines | 04:05 |
| bodhi_zazen | ttfn | 04:12 |
| krhahn | Hi: I'm wondering if anyone can tell me if other people are having a similar issue to me with their update to ubuntu 10.04? My wired internet connections seems to be very sporadic on a laptop i just updated. Just curios is this is related to the upgrade or if there are other issues happening here. | 04:25 |
| ircindia | Upgraded to 10.04 and the theme changed to something real dirty (the default Fedora look). I used the alternate CD image mount. How can I get the old theme/look back. (PS. my close, maxi/mini-mize buttons are on right. How come?) | 04:26 |
| krhahn | Hello? | 04:29 |
| TJ_D | ircindia I don't know but usually if I ask something and go look for the answer, someone comes back and answers the question by the time I'm getting frustrated googling | 04:31 |
| ircindia | TJ_D: Ok, I will wait | 04:33 |

| lukjad86 | Vantrax hi | 11:29 |
| lukjad86 | Vantrax I'm trying to pinpoint why my BIOS started to beep wildly yesterday night | 11:30 |
| Vantrax | what bios? | 11:30 |
| Vantrax | and what beep pattern | 11:31 |
| lukjad86 | Vantrax Just BEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEP | 11:31 |
| lukjad86 | The computer was on, nothing was touching hte keyboard, and it just started beeping for a full minute | 11:31 |
| Vantrax | lukjad86, lol, and the bios (OEM, Award tc) | 11:32 |
| Vantrax | etc | 11:32 |
| lukjad86 | Vantrax it came with my dell PC | 11:33 |
| lukjad86 | I bought an XPS 430 | 11:34 |
| lukjad86 | brb | 11:34 |
| Vantrax | then its a ram issue | 11:35 |
| Vantrax | hrm hold on | 11:38 |
| Vantrax | it was on and running then went berzerk, not starting up? | 11:38 |
| Vantrax | if it was running it wasnt the BIOS | 11:39 |
| Vantrax | bios only runs at boot to do basic hardware checks and then hands off to the OS. Once it does that it doesnt do anything | 11:39 |
| lukjad86 | Vantrax No, it was running, then the bios started beeping wildly, but everything kept running normally | 11:41 |
| lukjad86 | Vantrax So it it's not a BIOS beep, and it wasn't from the speakers...? | 11:41 |
| Vantrax | cant tell you much more without looking at it | 11:50 |
| Vantrax | lukjad86, I support 4500 dells:P | 11:50 |

| Vantrax | no, for a big university | 11:52 |
| lukjad86 | Ah | 11:52 |
| Vantrax | our student computing fleet is 4500 which is what I work on | 11:52 |
| Vantrax | then there is another 4000 staff machines | 11:53 |
| lukjad86 | Vantrax I think that it may be someone was scanning my computer. Can't be sure, this kind of thing with it beeping at me happens from time to time | 11:55 |
| Vantrax | might help to disable software sound next time it does it | 12:04 |
| Vantrax | that will tell you if it is hardware, or an application | 12:04 |
| lukjad86 | Vantrax You seem to be right. | 12:05 |
| lukjad86 | Vantrax Now of course, I have to figure out what had the alarm go off :P | 12:06 |
| Vantrax | he he he | 12:12 |
| Vantrax | good luck lukjad86 | 12:12 |
| Vantrax | you can disable the windows sounds which will make sure its not the OS | 12:12 |
| lukjad86 | Yeah, that was already done | 12:13 |
| shahan | I lost network indicator on my LUCID from the upper panel | 13:10 |
| shahan | I want to get it back | 13:10 |
| shahan | but the internet is working | 13:10 |
| shahan | ohhh.... | 13:11 |
| shahan | got it | 13:12 |
| hobgoblin | oh good :) | 13:12 |
| shahan | its right clicking on the bar > Add to Panel > Notification Area | 13:12 |
| hobgoblin | yep | 13:13 |
| shahan | tnx GOD | 13:13 |
| hobgoblin | they won't help | 13:14 |
| hobgoblin | personally the icon is no use to me as I only use ethernet :) | 13:14 |
| shahan | hobgoblin: !!! | 13:15 |
| shahan | hobgoblin: hmm | 13:15 |
| shahan | hobgoblin: but I am using WiFi.. for this I can see there the network strength | 13:16 |
| hobgoblin | yea - I understand - it is no use to ME :) | 13:16 |
| hobgoblin | I'd be fed up if I lost it and needed it though :) | 13:17 |

| benjamintheyon | whats the easiest way to check my screen resolution? | 13:34 |

| hobgoblin | who from ? | 14:02 |
| hobgoblin | ha ha ha - of course :) | 14:02 |
| nigelbabu | lol :) | 14:02 |
| hobgoblin | go ahead nigelbabu :) | 14:03 |
| ZachK_ | If it was me hobgoblin would you still say yes? Lmao | 14:08 |
| hobgoblin | yep of course ZachK_ :) | 14:08 |
| ZachK_ | Lol | 14:08 |
| hobgoblin | ZachK_: you got PC sorted now? | 14:14 |
| ZachK_ | hobgoblin: Wha? | 14:15 |
| hobgoblin | last time we spoke you were online with a phone or something | 14:15 |
| benjamintheyon | I have kind of a graphical question - is there a way to make icons stand out more on a busy background, short of editing the image to provide a space for them? | 14:16 |
| ZachK_ | hobgoblin: Oh yeah I got a pc...right now I'm using my iPod cause I'm at my grandparents house | 14:17 |
| hobgoblin | ZachK_: technology is a wonderful thing - you'd not have been doing that 30 years ago on a walkman ;) | 14:17 |
| hobgoblin | benjamintheyon: maybe rethink the way you use your desktop - mine is bare ... anything I put on there stands out | 14:18 |
| ZachK_ | hobgoblin: Agreed | 14:18 |
| hobgoblin | benjamintheyon: maybe use resized icons | 14:18 |
| hobgoblin | benjamintheyon: you can resize the things on the desktop - but that works on all that is there | 14:19 |
| benjamintheyon | hobgoblin: that's how I usually operate, to be honest. I doctored an image to give a muted area for icons and it looks good. I was just wondering if there was a software that'd do it automatically and allow me to drag the border to change the size the "icon area" | 14:20 |
| hobgoblin | so resizing won't work on second thoughts | 14:20 |
| hobgoblin | I think you can stretch them | 14:20 |
| benjamintheyon | I guess ideally I could make a little "tray" object on the desktop, but I have no idea if there is something that'll do that. I'm pretty new to Ubuntu and just exploring what my possibilities are | 14:22 |
| hobgoblin | benjamintheyon: have you tried the stretch - right click the icon - should be in the menu | 14:23 |
| benjamintheyon | well, it isn't really the icon I'd like to size. maybe Im not explaining myself, let me try again. | 14:23 |
| benjamintheyon | basically, I usually use a very simple desktop background image; icons look much nicer when they aren't sitting on top of some crazy busy pattern/image | 14:24 |
| benjamintheyon | I wanted to dress it up with something a little different, BUT I want to keep the ability to see my icons clearly too. So I edited the image to provide a space for my icons at the left of the screen that is very muted. | 14:25 |
| benjamintheyon | It works, but it isn't dynamic at all. If I wind up with a second row of files/launchers/etc....I'll have to remake the changes on the image using gimp. see what I'm saying? | 14:25 |
| hobgoblin | oic | 14:27 |
| benjamintheyon | I just figured as cool as Ubuntu is, and with such a focus on usability, something might exist to allow that. kind of a dynamic tray for icons on the desktop | 14:28 |
| hobgoblin | I have no idea then - sounds like the sort of thing you should be able to find/sort out | 14:28 |
| hobgoblin | I would be inclined to try a post on the forum - there are more people looking there than in here | 14:28 |
| hobgoblin | if you do I would go to the Desktop Environment forum - http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=329 | 14:29 |
| benjamintheyon | That's probably what I'll go with. I have a feeling someone's created something similar. Thanks! | 14:29 |
| hobgoblin | there might even be a channel - let me have a look | 14:29 |
| van | anybody know how I can use a different sound device on skype? | 14:30 |
| Akos | van: sure, you need to enable it via skype's settings | 14:31 |
| hobgoblin | benjamintheyon: there is a deskytop channel - but I would think it is not quite what you would want - might be worth a question in there - it is in ubuntu namespace so you shouldn't get any un-ubuntu answers | 14:31 |
| hobgoblin | benjamintheyon: #ubuntu-desktop | 14:31 |
| benjamintheyon | thanks a bunch! | 14:31 |
| hobgoblin | benjamintheyon: but I think forum would be best bet | 14:32 |
| van | Akos, the problem is that I cannot make any changes on skype settings from Pulseaudio | 14:32 |
| ZachK_ | van: Ah audio input output settings are in skype my mahn | 14:37 |
| Akos | van: you don't need to do changes from Pulseaudio, just from within Skype | 14:37 |
| van | Akos, from within Skype-sound devices-speakers, I get "pulseaudio server" as my only option | 14:39 |
| shahan | skype is good for windows | 14:40 |
| shahan | but I am not satisfied using skype in ubuntu | 14:40 |
| shahan | skype dont give good performance on ubuntu | 14:40 |
| shahan | in windows skype give awesome performance | 14:40 |
| van | shahan: so you suggesting the solution is to install windows? | 14:40 |
| van | lol how didn't I think of that? | 14:40 |
| Akos | van: well, i'd say then uninstall pulseaudio, but i can't give you support if anything wrong happens, so you should ask on the forums or wait around here, and maybe a sound device guru could come around (: | 14:41 |
| shahan | van | 14:41 |
| van | That's good enough for me Akos, I think I'll way. thanks :) | 14:41 |
| van | wait* | 14:41 |
| Akos | my pleasure (: | 14:41 |
| shahan | van: never I will suggest u to install in windows | 14:42 |
| shahan | van: I am telling you that it give better performance in windows | 14:42 |
| shahan | van: no... | 14:42 |

| arachnid | i cant seem to find the folder where that applications are listed | 21:35 |
| drubin | AJH101: So you booted into the live cd and did the chroot and then change password? | 21:39 |
| dragondon | @arachnid typically you just type the name of the application. | 21:41 |
| AJH101 | Drubin yes I did. | 21:42 |
| AJH101 | Drubin: I found: sudo chmod 777 /tmp but that now generates the msg that the gnome configuration has not been installed - have i broken my system?! | 21:44 |

| tatica1 | can someone help me please? | 22:32 |
| pleia2 | tatica1: sounds like a problem with flash, do you get some kind of error when you try? | 22:39 |
| tatica1 | yes | 22:39 |
| tatica1 | it doesn't run | 22:39 |
| tatica1 | and it says an error occurs, please try again | 22:40 |
| tatica1 | in all the videos | 22:40 |
| tatica1 | also it happens in Qik | 22:40 |
| pleia2 | is this in a browser? | 22:41 |
| tatica1 | I downloaded Flash but I don know if I miss somethig | 22:41 |
| tatica1 | yes | 22:41 |
| pleia2 | did you download it via the package manager, or from the flash website? | 22:47 |
| tatica1 | flash website | 22:48 |
| pleia2 | might have better luck with the flash package (I don't know the precise name at the moment) | 22:50 |
| pleia2 | I don't really know how the one from the website works | 22:50 |
| tatica1 | mmm ok | 22:50 |
| tatica1 | tks | 22:51 |
| geirha | tatica1: You can install the ubuntu-restricted-extras package | 22:56 |
| tatica1 | geirha: how is that? | 22:57 |
| geirha | It installs adobe flash along with some other packages you might need; MS fonts, several video codecs and such | 22:57 |
| tatica1 | ok | 22:57 |
| tatica1 | how I can do it? | 22:58 |
| geirha | You'll find it Applications -> Software Center | 22:58 |
| geirha | Just search for restricted extras | 22:58 |
| tatica1 | ohhh ok | 22:59 |
| tatica1 | thank you | 22:59 |
| arachnid | hey | 23:04 |
| arachnid | where is the application folder on the hard drive - how would i start a program from terminal | 23:04 |
| geirha | There's no application folder. Applications are spread over several directories. | 23:06 |
| arachnid | so how would one open an application from terminal | 23:07 |
| geirha | The executables are typically put in /usr/bin/ | 23:07 |
| geirha | You need to figure out what the name of the binary that starts it is. | 23:08 |
| arachnid | ok cool thanks | 23:08 |
| geirha | Looking at the menu entry should tell you, or dpkg -L package-name to list all the files that package installs. | 23:09 |
