| goku4eternity | my login sound doesn't work un xubuntu 10.4 | 05:33 |
|---|---|---|
| goku4eternity | not sure why | 05:33 |
| peter___ | guys, I installed xubuntu 10.4 at home, and lan worked fine after install, then I gave the laptop to my sister, who tried it at her home, and the lan didnt work anymore. any ideas how that can be | 09:45 |
| well_laid_lawn | peter___: is there a profile being used in the networkmanager with a diff nameserver ip? | 09:46 |
| peter___ | could be, im new to xubuntu so i dont know the commands to check that.. I did reboot with lan connected and try to delete the config files for it in my home folder | 09:48 |
| peter___ | I do know they are using a mac filter, but that should not affect lan right? | 09:49 |
| well_laid_lawn | the metworkmanager should have an icon near the top right corner | 09:49 |
| well_laid_lawn | *networkmanager | 09:50 |
| peter___ | yeah, there was an auto connect option there | 09:50 |
| peter___ | but this is a normal issue? because its not for an advanced user so if she needs to setup lan everytime she goes to another location xubuntu is not an option i guess | 09:54 |
| well_laid_lawn | make a profile called sister and one called me or something | 09:56 |
| peter___ | yeah but i understand lan is not Plug and play in xubuntu? so she needs to do the config everytime she goes to another location | 09:57 |
| well_laid_lawn | networkmanager is not something I know that much about - maybe someone will have some clues... | 09:58 |
| peter___ | ok, thanks for the help anyway :) do u know the command to check mac adress for wireless? | 09:59 |
| well_laid_lawn | it should show in ifconfig | 10:01 |
| peter___ | ty | 10:01 |
| well_laid_lawn | luck :] | 10:01 |

| YeahRight | thanks though | 13:32 |
| slow-motion | hi | 16:28 |
| knome | hey, it seems like my ctrl and alt keys are switched head-to-head when using vbox 3.2 in xubuntu 10.04. any ideas why? | 16:54 |
| Anom01y | hey guys anyone know how to set up shared printing in Jaunty ? | 18:33 |
| Anom01y | I have 1 printer connected via usb to my computer and need it shared to another ubuntu box and a xp box | 18:33 |
| jk_ | AnomOly: do you have CUPS installed? Use your browser and enter http://localhost:631 to find out; if it's present you'll get a web page that's the CUPS control. If not you'll get a 404 message. | 18:36 |
| Arpad2 | hello | 18:49 |
| Arpad2 | does smb know how to download videos to mp3 from youtube ? :) | 18:49 |
| andyn | that's not really ubuntu related... there's a handful of websites that provide such services for free | 19:06 |
| jcfp | Arpad2: there's youtube-dl - package is in universe. | 19:08 |
| andyn | didn't know that | 19:09 |
| === gnomefreak76 is now known as gnomefreak | ||
| Sysi | i'm using DownloadHelper addon in firefox | 19:14 |
| Arpad2 | jcfp: thx, after youtube-dl update it work fine again, google is trying to breake all downloads..., | 19:15 |
| Arpad2 | Sysi: i just use a commandline in the terminal:) | 19:16 |
| Arpad2 | andyn: i agree this was little off-topic, but thx folks!:) | 19:17 |
| Arpad2 | how can i find best possible driver for my monitor? | 19:23 |
| Sysi | monitor? :D what graphics card do you have? | 19:23 |
| Arpad2 | intel graphics | 19:24 |
| Arpad2 | so its built in the motherboard | 19:24 |
| Arpad2 | i guess | 19:24 |
| Arpad2 | in win7 i can use the old CRT at 85Hz, while in xubuntu only at 75 | 19:25 |
| Arpad2 | although I can choose 85Hz as well, but if I do so the output is only a black screen :'( | 19:27 |
| Sysi | new kernel from PPA *could* help | 19:28 |
| Sysi | if you want extreme, xorg-beta-random-something-PPA | 19:28 |
| Arpad2 | but do you think that this lower refresh rate is due to the installed driver? | 19:29 |
| Sysi | (luckily) i haven't played with CRTs | 19:30 |
| Arpad2 | ok | 19:31 |
| Arpad2 | i will seek for help from #xfce as well :) | 19:31 |
| charlie-tca | If it is intel, the driver is built into the kernel. You might be able to do something using /etc/X11/xorg.conf though | 19:32 |
| Arpad2 | ok | 19:33 |
| Arpad2 | i look into that | 19:33 |
| charlie-tca | Is there really much difference in images at 75 vs 85? | 19:33 |
| Arpad2 | theoretically its better for my eyes :D | 19:34 |
| charlie-tca | but, realistically, can you tell any difference? | 19:34 |
| knome | charlie-tca, on CRT's, probably | 19:34 |
| charlie-tca | I mean, I know 60 hurts my eyes, but 75 is okay | 19:34 |
| TheSheep | 75 is not okay if you look at it whole day | 19:35 |
| knome | charlie-tca, i'd say that is possible if you keep on looking at the monitor for long times, but maybe not visually | 19:35 |
| charlie-tca | If I can get them up to 70, I am usually fine, 75 works better. | 19:35 |
| Arpad2 | so its worth to seek for 85 ?:) | 19:35 |
| TheSheep | Arpad2: if you valu your eyes | 19:36 |
| TheSheep | value | 19:36 |
| charlie-tca | Depends on how long you are in front of the monitor, too | 19:36 |
| Arpad2 | ok | 19:36 |
| knome | 60 works with my LCD's, or then there is something wrong with the way the configuration dialog shows the rate | 19:36 |
| TheSheep | I once had a second hand professional monitor, it could go up to 160Hz in text mode, it was extra sharp | 19:36 |
| Arpad2 | thats meen i have to do some digging.. | 19:36 |
| TheSheep | knome: lcds work completely differently and this means something else for them | 19:37 |
| === Guest32863 is now known as crazygir | ||
| knome | TheSheep, probably. there was no expression the discussion was only about CRT's, thgouh :) | 19:37 |
| knome | *though | 19:37 |
| TheSheep | yeah, if it's an lcd then any refresh rate works | 19:38 |
| TheSheep | you may get blurry animations for slow reactions, though | 19:38 |
| TheSheep | but it doesn't hurt eyes as much as flickering | 19:38 |
| Sysi | compared to LCD, CRT always hurts eyes | 20:08 |
| * charlie-tca thinks that is a true statement | 20:10 | |
| Arpad2 | whats the file manager from terminal | 20:20 |
| Arpad2 | ? | 20:20 |
| Sysi | err? | 20:21 |
| Arpad2 | so i dint have graphical desktop | 20:22 |
| Arpad2 | dont | 20:22 |
| Sysi | cd, cp, ls, mv, etc. | 20:22 |
| Arpad2 | there is a program once smb showed me and i used it | 20:22 |
| Arpad2 | forgot the name | 20:23 |
| charlie-tca | gnome-commander? midnight-commander? ?? | 20:23 |
| Arpad2 | sth like that :) | 20:23 |
| charlie-tca | smbc?? | 20:23 |
| charlie-tca | subcommander?? | 20:23 |
| charlie-tca | tuxcmd?? | 20:23 |
| Arpad2 | like total-commander | 20:23 |
| Arpad2 | looked similar | 20:23 |
| charlie-tca | I guess you have to pick names and try them. We don't know what you have installed | 20:23 |
| Arpad2 | i can istall any of them with sudo apt-get ? | 20:24 |
| Sysi | all that are in repositories | 20:25 |
| charlie-tca | yup. To install midnight-commander, the file is mc | 20:25 |
| Arpad2 | ok | 20:25 |
| Arpad2 | ill try mc than:) | 20:25 |
| Arpad2 | than you! | 20:25 |
| Arpad2 | ok | 20:27 |
| Arpad2 | mc worked | 20:27 |
| Arpad2 | without install | 20:27 |
| Arpad2 | now | 20:27 |
| charlie-tca | That must have been it, then | 20:27 |
| Arpad2 | yes | 20:27 |
| Arpad2 | :) | 20:27 |
| Arpad2 | now how can i edit lines in a program | 20:28 |
| Arpad2 | ? | 20:28 |
| Arpad2 | from tzermoinal | 20:28 |
| Arpad2 | i have to fix the refresh rate | 20:28 |
| knome | !enter | Arpad2 | 20:28 |
| Sysi | nano is simple text editor | 20:28 |
| ubottu | Arpad2: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 20:28 |
| charlie-tca | If it is in home, you can use "nano file-name" | 20:28 |
| Arpad2 | nano | 20:28 |
| Arpad2 | thats it! | 20:28 |
| Arpad2 | :) | 20:28 |
| Sysi | manpages and apropos are handy | 20:29 |
| * charlie-tca can never remember apropos | 20:29 | |
| knome | apropos apropos | 20:29 |
| * charlie-tca thinks his brain is too old | 20:29 | |
| charlie-tca | knome: that only works when you can remember the word itself | 20:30 |
| knome | ;) | 20:30 |
| Sysi | i can't brain today, i has the dumb | 20:31 |
| Arpad2 | how to restart from terminal? | 20:34 |
| Arpad2 | thank you for helping me through the terminal stage:) | 20:40 |

| charlie-tca | You are welcome | 20:45 |
