[05:33] <goku4eternity> my login sound doesn't work un xubuntu 10.4
[05:33] <goku4eternity> not sure why
[09:45] <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
[09:46] <well_laid_lawn> peter___: is there a profile being used in the networkmanager with a diff nameserver ip?
[09:48] <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
[09:49] <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
[09:50] <well_laid_lawn> *networkmanager
[09:50] <peter___> yeah, there was an auto connect option there
[09:54] <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
[09:56] <well_laid_lawn> make a profile called sister and one called me or something
[09:57] <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
[09:58] <well_laid_lawn> networkmanager is not something I know that much about - maybe someone will have some clues...
[09:59] <peter___> ok, thanks for the help anyway :) do u know the command to check mac adress for wireless?
[10:01] <well_laid_lawn> it should show in   ifconfig
[10:01] <peter___> ty
[10:01] <well_laid_lawn> luck :]
[13:28] <YeahRight> what window manager is being used in ubuntu? (i know the desktop manager is gnome)
[13:28] <Sysi> metacity/compiz (wrong channel)
[13:32] <YeahRight> yeah sorry
[13:32] <YeahRight> thanks though
[16:28] <slow-motion> hi
[16:54] <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?
[18:33] <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
[18:36] <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.
[18:49] <Arpad2> hello
[18:49] <Arpad2> does smb know how to download videos to mp3 from youtube ? :)
[19:06] <andyn> that's not really ubuntu related... there's a handful of websites that provide such services for free
[19:08] <jcfp> Arpad2: there's youtube-dl - package is in universe.
[19:09] <andyn> didn't know that
[19:14] <Sysi> i'm using DownloadHelper addon in firefox
[19:15] <Arpad2> jcfp: thx, after youtube-dl update it work fine again, google is trying to breake all downloads...,
[19:16] <Arpad2> Sysi: i just use a commandline in the terminal:)
[19:17] <Arpad2> andyn: i agree this was little off-topic, but thx folks!:)
[19:23] <Arpad2> how can i find best possible driver for my monitor?
[19:23] <Sysi> monitor? :D what graphics card do you have?
[19:24] <Arpad2> intel graphics
[19:24] <Arpad2> so its built in the motherboard
[19:24] <Arpad2> i guess
[19:25] <Arpad2> in win7 i can use the old CRT at 85Hz, while in xubuntu only at 75
[19:27] <Arpad2> although I can choose 85Hz as well, but if I do so the output is only a black screen  :'(
[19:28] <Sysi> new kernel from PPA *could* help
[19:28] <Sysi> if you want extreme, xorg-beta-random-something-PPA
[19:29] <Arpad2> but do you think that this lower refresh rate is due to the installed driver?
[19:30] <Sysi> (luckily) i haven't played with CRTs
[19:31] <Arpad2> ok
[19:31] <Arpad2> i will seek for help from #xfce as well :)
[19:32] <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
[19:33] <Arpad2> ok
[19:33] <Arpad2> i look into that
[19:33] <charlie-tca> Is there really much difference in images at 75 vs 85?
[19:34] <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
[19:35] <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 ?:)
[19:36] <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..
[19:37] <TheSheep> knome: lcds work completely differently and this means something else for them
[19:37] <knome> TheSheep, probably. there was no expression the discussion was only about CRT's, thgouh :)
[19:37] <knome> *though
[19:38] <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
[20:08] <Sysi> compared to LCD, CRT always hurts eyes
[20:10]  * charlie-tca thinks that is a true statement
[20:20] <Arpad2> whats the file manager from terminal
[20:20] <Arpad2> ?
[20:21] <Sysi> err?
[20:22] <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
[20:23] <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
[20:24] <Arpad2> i can istall any of them with sudo apt-get ?
[20:25] <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!
[20:27] <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> :)
[20:28] <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] <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> :)
[20:29] <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
[20:30] <charlie-tca> knome: that only works when you can remember the word itself
[20:30] <knome> ;)
[20:31] <Sysi> i can't brain today, i has the dumb
[20:34] <Arpad2> how to restart from terminal?
[20:40] <Arpad2> thank you for helping me through the terminal stage:)
[20:44] <charlie-tca> sudo reboot ?
[20:45] <charlie-tca> You are welcome
[20:45] <Arpad2> ok its over
[20:45] <Arpad2> im on graphical now
[21:57] <slow-motion> n8
[22:23] <Sunderphon> Hey, just wondering how I'd go about changing the icon of a single file?
